In most applications, I can use Tab-Tan, to navigate from one button to the next, then Enter to select it.
I placed several launchers on the XFce4 panel.
Is there any way to launch items located there by navigating with the keyboard using Tab+Enter or similar keyboard shortcuts?

I don't think that is possible. The key problem here is, that the panel does neither become an active window when you hover over it with mouse nor does it grab the keyboard. Which means it is probably not receiving the keyboard events at all.
See also related discussion where a workaround via xdotool is suggested. If you decided to go down that road, you probably want to save the mouse position and restore it after all is done.
