Unfortunately, most of the "auto" features don't work that way; they tend to be 
user actions which result in changes to the normal parameters of the module, 
and these static parameters are what gets stored in the processing history. A 
notable exception is the "automatic" mode of the exposure module, where the 
parameters become the ones defining the auto-adjustment (useful for things like 
"deflickering" time lapse images). This is the behavior you want, but the 
exposure module may not be suitable for general automated contrast-enhancement 
purposes, particularly because the black level control isn't set by the 
auto-adjustment... but you could check it out.

Also, for whatever it's worth, there's instructions for doing something like 
what you describe with Gimp here:
