"should be supported" does not mean it does. Maybe it is a question of versions but it does not work with e.g. tar.bz2: http://aminet.net/package/dev/src/xad_bzip2. I copied the bzip2.040 from the 68k 7z from Aminet to the client directory and with that I cannot open e.g. annotate-src-3.0.1.tar.bz2 from AROS archives. But uncompressing works (context menu item below that). I also tried many disk images in ADF and DMS and none of them works to open as a directory. So in general I can say it does not work. Maybe only in some special situations.
Btw. there is bzip2 by default without installing external client. If you do XADLibInfo you get:
BZip2 | 5045 | 13 | 1.9 | FILE,FREE(FI)
Which is newer than the one in Aminet. I can't see it as any external file anywhere, so I guess some of those clients come with xadmaster.library itself?

If some file is supported through xadunfile command but not through Ambient archive browser (i.e by doubleclicking it), then it's down to XADFilesystem.
I believe bz2, dms, adf clients aren't supported by XADFilesystem (for some reason, they must have a particular subtype).
Hmm.. although you can browse bz2 and ADF archives with XADopus in Magellan2.. I wonder if they still should be browsable in Ambient too. DMS doesn't work with XADopus either, but those two do...
