Many times a dash can be used in place of comma but it is a mark of more stronger separation.

Use a dash only when a more common mark of punctuation seems inadequate.

Hyphen: a short line (-) used to connect the parts of a compound word or the parts of a word divided for any purpose.
I can not think of a situation in which I can add which after -- but it looks concievable. I let experts comment to give an authentic answer.
