No there is no dynamic linking in EFI.  Communicating between modules is done 
via Protocols. A protocol is a C data structure, that often contains member 
function that is named by a GUID and sits on a handle. 

You want to go after the systems primary console and that can be found in the 
EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE that is passed in to your entry point. The 
UefiBootServicesTableLib  will place it in a global for you so you want to look 
at:

gST-> ConIn
gST->ConOut
gST->StdErr

If the system has a console splitter this will be the primary console, if there 
is no console splitter then this is still the primary console. 


So for example (if my memory is good...):
gST->ConOut->OutputString (gST->ContOut, L"Hello World/r/n");
