Interesting. I should have figured there was a shortcut for this.
Earlier tonight I came up with this snippet to do just that:

:map <C-O> :exe "new ".expand("<cfile>")<CR>

to open the file name under the cursor on pressing ctrl+shift+o. It
works regardless of whether that file exists.

In my case, I could just be using ctrl+W_ctrl+F.

The snippet above doesn't search any 'paths' though, AFAIK.
