I have been searching all day and haven't come across anything quite
like it. It seems like such basic functionality I would be surprised if

The GRASS module v.distance should do what you want (available in
QGIS's GRASS toolbox). You'll probably also need the v.db.addcol module
to prepare relevant columns in the first point vector's attrib table
for the feature_id, x, y, dist, etc. of the nearest features in the
second vector.<br>
