Probably this is what you're looking for:

    find-file-at-point is an interactive compiled Lisp function in
    `ffap.el'.

    It is bound to g f.

    (find-file-at-point &optional FILENAME)

    Find FILENAME, guessing a default from text around point.  If
    `ffap-url-regexp' is not nil, the FILENAME may also be an URL.
    With a prefix, this command behaves exactly like
    `ffap-file-finder'.  If `ffap-require-prefix' is set, the prefix
    meaning is reversed.  See also the variables
    `ffap-dired-wildcards', `ffap-newfile-prompt', and the functions
    `ffap-file-at-point' and `ffap-url-at-point'.
