This works, you don't even need to point exactly at the filename:

(defun mouse-find-file (click)
  "Inspect the file the mouse is pointing at."
  (interactive "@e")
  (mouse-set-point click)
  (find-file (dired-get-filename)))

I bind it like this:

(define-key dired-mode-map [mouse-2] 'mouse-find-file)
