Thanks though I see now that maybe I wasn't quite clear in my question:
I can find all the files I created today with the following command line:
find ~ -type f -not -path '*/\.*' -mtime -1 -ls
I.e. all regular files not in a hidden directory, anywhere under my home
directory, less than 24 hours old.
Is it possible for Thunar to maintain a some sort of shortcut to list
these files in its window? Even if I have to refresh it manually that
would be a very good start?

I say it) in Windows - let's keep the search to within the user's
home folder, not in any hidden directories, The point would be just
to make it easier to find file that I'm about to attach to an e-mail.

Maybe find the file of interest, if it's just date you are after, by
sorting on date: click on the date modified column in the display.
Otherwise, go to the dir of interest in a terminal with the cd (change
directory) command. Do an ls on the directory, searching with
wildcards, etc., and direct the output to a file, For example, if I'm
interested in files beginning with "roger" in a directory name fred,
cd fred
ls roger* > file,lst
will output the list to a file named file.lst which can be read later,
e.g., with the less command, piped to more for a big list.
less file.lst | more
read man ls for options.
file.lst can be opened with a GUI word processor if you wish.
