I do this with a completion widget:
zstyle ':completion:most-recent-file:*' match-original both
zstyle ':completion:most-recent-file::::' completer _menu _files _match
zstyle ':completion:most-recent-file:*' file-sort modification
zstyle ':completion:most-recent-file:*' file-patterns '*(.):normal\ files'
zstyle ':completion:most-recent-file:*' hidden all
bindkey '^Xm' most-recent-file
zle -C most-recent-file menu-complete _generic

The _match bit allows that: type *.pdf and ^Xm will get you the most
recent .pdf file.

You can probably use a normal zle widget which invokes this followed by
accept-line.
You'd lose the feature that invoking this multiple times cycles through
files in modification order though.
I'm now away for a couple of weeks, by the way. Have a good Christmas
everyone.
