For others interested, I went to Keyboard settings and in the Applications Shortcuts tab I set the Super key to the command xfce4-popup-whiskermenu. Now I can quickly press Super and begin typing an application name.

I tested it just now. If I depress the Super key immediately I get the Whisker menu. If I keep it held down and press the h button then Thunar pops up but not the menu.
Edit: More testing...if I hold down the Super key longer than a second the Whisker menu doesn't activate even if I release the key. This tells me that after a second or so, the window manager waits for a combination rather than the single button shortcut. Kind of nice I think.
Not a bad idea. Nice to have shortcut to pop-up Whisker Menu.
Just tested and confirmed this works well and does not interfere with other shortcuts. Behavior is exactly as described above.
