Why not create a specialized function which might ask for the title of
the headline and insert that headline along with the properties?  Or
even insert an /empty/ headline with these properties and place the
point after the string of asterisks and a space, so that you can type
the title?  Or, if we are at it, why not use Yasnippet for that?

Not exactly what you want, but maybe this is what you /need/?

If not, I guess that advising org-return /might/ be the way to go.
(For instance, you might check whether the user hits RET with the point
at the end of a headline with empty contents.)
