I found the solution with a little help of a friend and want to post
it for reference:

,----[ the whole part ]
| (defadvice reftex-format-citation (before eval-citation-format)
|   (setq format (eval format)))
|
| (defun org-mode-reftex-setup ()
|   (load-library "reftex")

disk
|      (global-auto-revert-mode t)
|      (reftex-parse-all)
|      ;add a custom reftex cite format to insert links
|      (reftex-set-cite-format
|       '((?b . "[[bib:%l][%l-bib]]")
|         (?n . "[[notes:%l][%l-notes]]")
|         (?p . "[[papers:%l][%l-pdf]]")
|         (?t . "%t")
|         (?h . (concat "* %l - %t\n:PROPERTIES:\n:Created: "

1 -1) ">"
|               "\n:Custom_ID: %l\n:END:\n[[papers:%l][%l-pdf]] 
[[bib:%l][%l-bib]]"))
|         ))))
|   (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c )") 'reftex-citation)
|   (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c (") 'org-mode-reftex-search))
