A friend of mine implied there could be a way to circumvent corrosion between materials by connecting them with a copper wire outside the coolant (so the wire would make kind of a short-circuit between the reservoir and waterblocks, preventing the reaction through the fluid.
Any info on that?

Won't help. He confused about how the battery effect works. The reaction isn't directly between the two materials, but rather between one piece of metal and dissolved ions in the coolant. Having a common potiential between the two metals doesn't affect the dissolved ions.
