Hi,

I'm not a XFCE developer, so I cannot say what and how can be embedded 
in XFCE itself. However, I have one suggestion: use wmctrl and 
xbindkeys. These two applications are a remedy for situations in which 
standard functions of a window manager are not sufficient anymore.

For example, you can define keyboard shortcuts for all desktops with 
these tools. You can also add menu entries to the desktop menu that will 
go to a given desktop. Possibilities are endless, once you know what 
exactly you need :)

Best regards,
