Jonathan mentioned already that we typically just do this by hand[1], though look on the list for the "interpret-trailers" work being done by Christian. It would make it very easy to add:

  See-also: ....

lines to the bottom of your commit using a command like the above. I don't know if it would be easy to convert refnames into commit ids with it or not. You'd have to look.

[1] I do not know about others, but I typically cut and paste from

      [alias]
      ll = "!git --no-pager log -1 --pretty='tformat:%h (%s, %ad)' --date=short"
