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.
