When the cursor is on <file>.xyz, I actually want to open <file>.abc.
Would you please show me how to do it?

More generally, give a 1-1 mapping form a suffix set (S1) to another
suffix set (S2), when the cursor is on any file name that has a suffix
in S1, I want to open the file with the suffix replaced by the
corresponding one in S2. Would you please show me how to do it?
