Vim has already two built-in mechanisms of this kind:
1) for a one-time opening of a file at a given position, see ":help +cmd"
:e +123 foobar.txt
open foobar.txt at line 123
:e + foobar.txt
open foobar.txt at end
:e +/pattern foobar.txt
open foobar.txt at the first line matching /pattern/
:e +/pattern\ with\ spaces foobar.txt
spaces must be backslash-escaped
etc.
2) if your program generates a number of such file-locations, like grep
does, or like a make run with a number of errors and warnings: see
:help quickfix.txt
:help :compiler
:help 'errorformat'
etc.

Tony.
