Here is one posible solution found from google:

(defun dired-do-flagged-find ()
  "In dired, find the files flagged for loading.   
\\[dired-do-flagged-find]"
  (interactive)
  (let* ((dired-marker-char dired-marker-char)
  (regexp (dired-marker-regexp))
  case-fold-search)
    (save-excursion 
      (goto-char (point-min))
      (while (re-search-forward regexp nil t)
        (save-excursion
          (message "Opened file: %s" 
                   (find-file (dired-get-filename))))
        )
      )))
 (define-key dired-mode-map "F" 'dired-do-flagged-find)
 (define-key dired-mode-map [menu-bar operate find-flagged]
   '("Find Marked Files" . dired-do-flagged-find))
