When I use Thunar I like adding to custom actions command lines like those presented here, here and here to extract audio from videos. I mean without transcoding/altering the sound, just putting it out of the video (a flv or mp4 video, for example, is a aac audio – which cannot be played as such, but rapped into a m4a, like in the the command in the links posted. a webm video has a ogg audio which needs to be extracted.)
Now, I am using elementayOS, and will not use Thunar, nor Nautilus, just Pantheon-Files.
I want to know if there is a GUI solution to achieve this.

Command line
If you're willing to forgo using a GUI you can use
ffmpeg
fairly easily to do this.Sample file
If you go to QuickTime: Sample files, you can download this sample file, sample_mpeg4.mp4. After downloading it, unzip it.
Example
You can extract the AAC audio frpm the mP4 file.
The resulting AAC file.
You can also use
ffmpeg
to confirm the file format:GUI
You can use VLC and it's Convert/Stream feature to do this. After launching VLC.
Example
Select Convert/Save from File pulldown
Select video file, and convert stream
