Another option would be a link:

  (org-add-link-type
   "ruby" nil
   (lambda (path desc format)
     (cond
      ((eq format 'html)
       (format "<ruby> %s <rp>(</rp><rt>%s</rt><rp>)</rp> <\ruby>" path desc))
      ((memq format '(beamer latex))
           (format "\\ruby{%s}{%s}" path desc)))))


[[ruby:東][ひがし]]

(untested)
