You can't, because that command requires an event argument via
(interactive "e"), and the Emacs Lisp manual explains the `e' code:

      The first or next mouse event in the key sequence that invoked the
      command.  More precisely, `e' gets events that are lists, so you
      can look at the data in the lists.  *Note Input Events::.  No I/O.

      You can use `e' more than once in a single command's interactive
      specification.  If the key sequence that invoked the command has N
      events that are lists, the Nth `e' provides the Nth such event.
      Events that are not lists, such as function keys and ASCII
      characters, do not count where `e' is concerned.

Maybe you could define a new command that calls flyspell-correct-word
with a synthetic generated event, and then bind the new command to a 
key.  (The event is passed to mouse-set-point and flyspell-emacs-popup,
so it would have to satisfy whatever requirements/assumptions those
functions have.)
