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). -- Tyler Romeo 0x405D34A7C86B42DF

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.
