A quick look at `next-error-function' lead me to this most
simplistic solution. Maybe this already implemented somewhere,
I can't tell.

(defun dired-next-error-function (arg reset)
  (dired-next-line arg)
  (dired-advertised-find-file))

;; this is just one way to set the local `next-error-function'
;; variable
(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook
          #'(lambda nil
              (setq next-error-function 'dired-next-error-function)))
