Would you find it suitable to use [cite/command:pre @key post] in general? For portability, I suppose there could be a defcustom mapping if one wanted to leverage the oc-csl library with pretty minimal effort. I think two things need to be addressed to fix that. First is allowing a * in the style/variant section; there are probably 17 or so of these commands in natbib/biblatex. Second is fixing org-activate-link so that link activation functions don't get called on something like [cite/citet:@key]. This is necessary for org-ref and org-cite to co-exist, but also other packages or users might also define links like cite:.
