#+name: define-citeposs-link
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent :exports none
    (org-add-link-type 
     "citeposs" 'ebib-open-org-link
     (lambda (path desc format)
       (cond
        ((eq format 'html)
         (format "(<cite>%s</cite>)" path))
        ((eq format 'latex)
         (format "\\citeauthor{%s}'s (\\citeyear{%s})" path path)))))
#+end_src

I haven't tested this, but I think it would work in Org mode.

All the best,
Tom
