When following a link, Org does all kinds of things, including
possibly searching for a particular place in a file.  So it is best
to let Org do its thing, but to scope a different value of
org-link-frame-setup.  Like so:

(defun org-open-at-mouse-same-window (ev)
   "Open file link or URL at mouse."
   (interactive "e")
   (mouse-set-point ev)
   (if (eq major-mode 'org-agenda-mode)
       (org-agenda-copy-local-variable 'org-link-abbrev-alist-local))
   (let ((org-link-frame-setup
	 '((vm . vm-visit-folder)
	   (gnus . gnus)
	   (file . find-file))))
     (org-open-at-point)))
