You can get essentially what you want with a custom org-link in org-9 or later.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (org-link-set-parameters "wiki" :follow (lambda (path) (find-file path)) :export (lambda (path description backend) ;; do this for all exports (with-temp-buffer (insert-file-contents path) (buffer-string)))) #+END_SRC If you need extra syntax to support the lines below, see http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2015/02/05/Extending-the-org-mode-link-syntax-with-attributes/ for an approach to do that with the existing link syntax, so it might look like: [[wiki:dir/file :lines "5-10"]] This link is clickable and inserts the file at the link point in the export.
