Unfortunately I don't know any and believe there's nothing like that, as 
there's no simple way to do it. You can follow this way:

1. Use "Interpolation" plugin to create a raster file based on your vector (I 
suppose the values will be interpolated among polygon centroids)

2. Use RasterCalc to remove values from it. You can e.g. multiply it by 0:
[your_raster]@1 * 0

3. Now use your empty raster in the Raster->Rasterize
