Ah I see what you mean.  That's kind of a separate tool though, you 
could run it from thunar using the User Customisable Actions.  You could 
script it to cat to a terminal by greping /etc/groups (although, is 
there a command to find all users in a particular group?).

Does Thunar work with extended attributes?
