It seems "open thunar as root" is missing when I right click on File or an icon. How can I add open thunar as root? I found the answer elsewhere. It looks like this command goes in the Command box of custom actions: pkexec thunar %f

Nice resolve.
I wonder if that command means thunar allows any text editor to open as root?
Edit - added pluma to use instead of the default mousepad and now opens as root to pluma. I like it.

You could try the following, right click on the desktop and select create launcher
In the name section type Thunar, the system will offer you a Thunar selection, if you select that it will auto fill the other boxes for you
In the command box add the word sudo in front of thunar %F so it will read sudo thunar %F
Tick both the options User Startup notifications & Run in terminal
Click create
Now right click on the new Thunar icon on your desktop and select properties >> permissions
Put a tick in Allow this file to run as a program
Select close
Now when you click on the desktop icon it will launch a terminal window and ask you to enter your sudo password and when you do Thunar will launch as root.
If you want a quicker option just open a terminal window and type sudo thunar
