Google Maps has the function that allows a link to take the user's IP's location and have the map look up routes to a specified target location (e.g. +Location/23.794722,86.237778)

I was wondering if Open Street Maps has a similar functionality. All I can find is linking to the target but not the route from a random location.

Obtaining locations for IP addresses is outside the scope of OpenStreetMap. You have to use a different service for this task.

Afterwards, as soon as you have the location, you can use one of the many different OpenStreetMap-based online routers. Make sure to read their individual usage policies first. Alternatively you can also run your own OSM-based routing engine.
