If you store a link with org-store-link, org-insert-link will present it
above the link types. However, there's no mechanism to complete recently
created headlines, if that's what you're asking (org-mode doesn't
actually have enough information to implement such a feature).

I'd either:

1. Set org-refile-use-cache to t to cache refile (and headline
completion) targets.
2. Customize org-id-completion-targets to limit which files/headlines
should be considered as potential link targets.
