Hi,

You need to add a few lines to .emacs to make RefTex work with Org, 
described here:

(scroll down to "References")

Raw latex citations like \cite{Smith2010} work fine.

If you want a more elaborate and Org-like way of doing it, here is one 
way of doing it with custom link types:

I'm experimenting with some refinements, will post them here eventually.

Yours,
Christian
