I believe that examples like yours really belong to the manual, not to
the docstring. Your example is the shortest possible way to define a new
link type as opposed to writing a whole new library - something rather
hard to achieve for less experienced users.

So, I suggest to
1. Put your example to the beginning of "Adding Hyperlink Types" section
   of the manual as the simplest way to define a new link type and
   use ol-man as a more complex example if more features are needed.

2. Refer to (info "(org) Adding Hyperlink Types") from the docstring of
   `org-link-parameters'.

WDYT?
