If it would just be a link to a generic webfinger identifier then using 
rel="me" for profile pages and rel="author" for articles would be enough  I 
think - no need for a new relation type. You will know that it's a 
webfinger identifier by the style of the href, won't you?

And regarding the use of OExchange - have you looked at Web Intents? If eg. 
OStatus was to define a Web Intents intent of it's own then that could 
easily be used to add follow-buttons on any OStatus profile that any 
OStatus subscriber could subscribe to. Google Chrome already has initial 
support for Web Intents in their latest dev builds.
