In general, I would do it like this.
Perhaps you can modify it so that instead of
applying `apply' to the args, put
`tags-query-replace' there and give the whole
thing the same interface as that function (also
change the name, of course).
This means you also have to change shortcuts to
invoke it instead of the original function.
With advice it can be set up completely
transparent if you care to read up on those...
(defun do-whatever-return (fun &rest args)
(let ((point (point))
(buffer (current-buffer)) )
(apply fun args)
(when (bufferp buffer)
(switch-to-buffer buffer)
(goto-char (point) ))))
;; (do-whatever-return #'switch-to-buffer "*Help*")
