Yes. Actually, that is existing functionality. Special:Userlogin will redirect users
if the returnto (and optionally returntoquery) are specified. (The only exception is if
a hook intervenes).

Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] "Not logged in" page
Would this return the user to the page that was originally requested, and
from which they were diverted?
I ask because a lot of people bookmark their watchlist as the easiest way
to wind up where they want to be. Getting a log-in screen first if they're
not already logged in would work fine, but then they'd want to be sent back
to the watchlist.

There is some old discussion on
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15484>, which asks for
the
same thing.
