Maybe this might help:

(defun dmaus/org-mode/org-link-ssh-to-plink (type path)
  "Return plink: link with PATH if TYPE is ssh."
  (cons type (if (string-match "/ssh:" path)
                 (replace-match "/plink:" nil nil path)
               path)))

(setq org-link-translation-function 'dmaus/org-mode/org-link-ssh-to-plink)
