there is nothing like that that I know of. You can write your own, in org
(following Eric's use of radio targets) it might look like this.

(defun my-heading ()
  (interactive)
  (let* ((title (string-trim (read-string "title: ")))
(tokens (split-string title " " t))
(label (format "<<sec:%s>>"
(string-join
(seq-take tokens (min 3 (length tokens)))
"-"))))
    (insert (format "%s %s" label title))))

you could also insert the leading * if you prefer.
