With already onboard functions :

M-x replace-regexp RET .+ RET \,(progn (save-match-data (find-file-noselect \&)) 
\&) RET

or when available

M-x shell-command-on-region RET xargs emacsclient -n RET

or a macro, approximatetly

C-x ( M-x ffap RET RET C-b RET C-n C-0 C-x e

or use a function which maps a regexp in a buffer using some function
much like the replace-regexp stuff above.  I am curious whether
such a command already exists.

Now I am out of ideas.
