I'd do something like this:

(org-add-link-type "file+emacs+dired" 'org-open-file-with-emacs-dired)

(defun org-open-file-with-emacs-dired (path)
  "Open in dired."
  (let ((d (file-name-directory path))
	(f (file-name-nondirectory path)))
    (dired d)
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (search-forward f nil t)))

which will work for a new link type file+emacs+dired.

But you can also setup `org-link-frame-setup' so that the function
associated to the file entry does the right thing for you.

HTH,
