I was unaware there is a native solution for that. With that option
activated under xfwm4-tweak-settings, you can run a command that will
detect the current desktop and simply press "Ctrl+F(current desktop)":
xdotool key ctrl+F"$(($(xdotool get_desktop)+1))"

Running this command from a terminal with that option activated, I
always return to the previously used desktop. But calling a keyboard
shortcut from another keyboard shortcut is problematic, so you have to
tell xdotool to release Escape first. This works reliably for me:

sh -c 'xdotool keyup Escape; xdotool key --clearmodifiers
ctrl+F"$(($(xdotool get_desktop)+1))"'
