Yes.  For this to work, you'd to do something like this (untested):


(defun org-follow-gmap-link (path)
  "Follow a google-map link when clicked."
  (browse-url-mozilla
   (concat "http://maps.google.com/maps?q="; path)))

(org-add-link-type "gmap" 'org-follow-gmap-link nil)


(defun org-follow-omap-link (path)
  "Follow a osm-map link when clicked."
  (browse-url-mozilla
   (concat
    "http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=";
    path "&polygon=1")))

(org-add-link-type "omap" 'org-follow-omap-link nil)
