Short answer: Look at thunar-archive-plugin source code. ;-)

Long answer: Basicly everything that file-roller supports to fully
support Xarchiver in thunar-archive-plugin:

  -a, --add-to=ARCHIVE                   Add files to the specified archive
                                         and quit the program
  -d, --add                              Add files asking the name of the
                                         archive and quit the program
  -e, --extract-to=FOLDER                Extract archives to the specified
                                         folder and quit the program
  -f, --extract                          Extract archives asking the
                                         destination folder and quit the
                                         program
  -h, --extract-here                     Extract archives using the archive
                                         name as destination folder and quit
                                         the program
  --default-dir=FOLDER                   Default folder to use for the
'--add'
                                         and '--extract' commands
  --force                                Create destination folder without
                                         asking confirmation

The --add-to and --extract-here options aren't currently used in
thunar-archive-plugin (and right now I don't see why they should ever be
needed).
