Does lithium oxide have covalent have a bond?

Whilst lithium is a metal and would be expected to form simple salts containing the Li+ ion- the very small size of this ion leads to it polarising the electron clouds of other ions and leading to covalent character of the bond. This is illustrated by the unusually high solubilities of Li halides in organic polar solvents. this phenomenon is explained by "fajan's rules".

Is hydrogen a special form of a ionic bond?

Hydrogen is an element, not a bond. It can form bonds, which are usually covalent, but an ionic bond with hydrogen is possible, for example, lithium hydride is an ionic compound. While this, like every compound, does have its own distinctive features, I would not call it a special form of ionic bond.
