Something like this seems to do approximately what you want:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun word-to-link ()
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (let (start end word)
      (backward-word)      
      (setq start (point))
      (forward-word)
      (setq end (point))
      (setq word (buffer-substring start end))
      (setf (buffer-substring start end)
	    (format "[[%s]]" word)))))
#+END_SRC
