Very likely, this is very simple to implement - but I don't know ebib  
and what API it offers to find and display entries.  If someone is  
interested to hack this, look at org-bibtex.e and at the manual:

http://orgmode.org/manual/Adding-hyperlink-types.html#Adding-hyperlink-types


The basic code for this will be very simple indeed, like

(org-add-link-type "ebib" 'org-ebib-open)
(defun org-bib-open (path)
      ;; PATH will be the bibentry key here
      (some-ebib-function-to-find-and-display path))
