Hi Jonas,  

I think that should already be possible, no?

http://creativecommons.org/ns (http://creativecommons.org/ns#) says that 
cc:attributionURL is:

"The URL (http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#Resource) the creator of a Work 
(http://creativecommons.org/ns#Work) would like used when attributing re-use."  

http://labs.creativecommons.org/2011/ccrel-guide/ says:

"The attribution URL is important when you want to indicate what URL re-users 
of your CC-licensed work should link to when they attribute your work."

It's whatever the author wants it to be, so it could be a link to the work.
