If you have a Reese fifth wheel hitch part # RP30047 there isn't a similar hitch head that would fit on the legs of the hitch that uses a jaw mechanism similar to what you described.
Curt has their A16 hitch part # C16120 which has this feature though. When you back the trailer into the hitch it snaps into place and you can see on the handle an indicator that it is secure and ready to tow. Check out the review video for more info.
