I don't know of a command that does this.

The last refile location is stored in org-bookmark-names-plist. The
(lightly tested) function below uses that information to create a link
to the refiled heading.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun org-refile-and-link ()
"Refile heading, adding a link to the new location.
Prefix arguments are interpreted by `org-refile'."
(interactive)
(when (member current-prefix-arg '(3 (4) (16)))
(user-error "Linking is incompatible with that prefix argument"))
(let ((heading (org-get-heading t t))
(orig-file (buffer-file-name)))
(call-interactively #'org-refile)
(let* ((refile-file
(bookmark-get-filename
(assoc (plist-get org-bookmark-names-plist :last-refile)
bookmark-alist)))
(same-file (string= orig-file refile-file))
(link (if same-file
(concat "*" heading)
(concat refile-file "::*" heading)))
(desc heading))
(open-line 1)
(insert (org-make-link-string link desc)))))
#+end_src
