  What is your idea to get different drivers working via:
  virt://pool/volume (so basically blktap vs file vs disk)
My idea was to have a script in /etc/xen/scripts/
Me too, but in order to 'fetch' the actual configuration it is required to
contact libvirt. And query about the pool/volume location. In this way it
would be actually a 'redirection' to blktap or adding a devicepath.

So this script is now written in plain C, but I want to know how you
imagine the driver selection based on connection uri.
You can simply use  xen:/// as the URI. There is no need for configurable
URIs since thisis a xen specific script.

You don't get the issue. In order to run a specific script for example a block device, it should have an unique prefix. That will make the executable that is called so virt:// will call /etc/xen/scripts/block-virt as script.

As you might notice here, the common file://, tap:aio:// or psy:// is not present, so if a pool is file based or device based it should some how inform this 'script' how to redirect the parameters to the appropriate script.
