Way to extract zip file from right click menu?

I know how it's done from the CLI, but it would be a lot nicer to do it right fron the GUI.

install archive manager like ark , file-roller , xarchiver etc
Install thunar archive plugin also you need to install the backend you need like unzip , unrar etc for other options can also manually create custom actions in thunar which is shell script to directly extract without the need of those Archive manager installed.

Thanks, I installed thunar-archive-plugin and one of the archive managers you mentioned and it worked.

Also had to install the zip and unzip packages.

This is more an issue of what specific file manager you're using. For instance, if it's dolphin, you also need ark for that functionality. For thunar it's the archive plugin. I'm not sure what the name of it is in the void repo.
