You can try something like this
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq bibtex-completion-format-citation-functions
'((org-mode . (lambda (keys) (org-ref-insert-cite-keys keys) ""))
(latex-mode . bibtex-completion-format-citation-cite)
(markdown-mode . bibtex-completion-format-citation-pandoc-citeproc)
(default . bibtex-completion-format-citation-default)))
#+END_SRC
it seems like ivy-bibtex at least expects some kind of string to be
returned, but org-ref-insert-cite-keys does the insertion for you.
