I have had a look at globalff.el, and it seems to me that an even 
better way forward would be to talk to the developer of globalff and 
ask him to add a feature:  It should be possible to take a default 
search string is taken from the file name at point in a similar way as 
ffap does it.  He could even use ffap internals to grab that string in 
a useful  way, I guess.  This would be something not only useful in 
Org-mode, but in many other modes too.
