It is already possible to do that with the current implementation, so
I'm not sure to understand the bug you're reporting.

Besides, I added support for evaluating code blocks containing coderefs.
It might be related to your post.

`org-coderef-label-format' could become `org-coderef-label-alist' where
key is the language, as a string, and value the format string.  You
would also need to implement a getter e.g.,

  (defun org-src-get-coderef-fmt element)

that would return the appropriate format-string.

Would you want to provide a patch for that?
