I have this mapping in my _vimrc, as suggested by the help:
:map gf :sp<cfile><CR>
Then when I type gf Vim splits the window, opens the file in the new
window, and jumps to it. (The cursor can be anywhere on the file name;
see ":h gf" for more.)

You can close the file and window with :q in the usual way.
