(Get the code!)
As for the use case:
a) I download, receive via email or IM an archive and save it to a location (desktop, Downloads folder, etc)
b) I navigate via Nautilus to it (if needed)
c) double click it/hit enter if I'm relying on the keyboard
d) archive opens
e) I immediately access the contents of the archive.
Which cover the most frequent use cases, and is simpler (you don't have to delete a folder + the archive when you're finished, or move a folder + an archive, or move an archive and delete a folder, or re-create the archive (if your "solution" would be to automatically delete the archive after extraction) when you want to forward it to somebody else ,or send it back with your changes in it.
The method used now is simpler, less confusing and doesn't introduce hard to fix bugs.
