don't know about "reach around" but as far as I know this has been standard way to mount fenders for decades.  on a road bike, even if i have clearance i don't bother trying to run it under the brake, too much trouble.   
making one of these is as simple as flat narrow slightly heavy gage sheet metal,some hole drilling and bending.  if you have the tools, should take about 5-10 minutes to make.    for simplicity a two holes in the fender matched to two holes in your bracket, loop a zip tie through.  smooth sharp edges or it will cut through tie sooner or later.  
mine is "quick release" allowing high quality full protection fender on or off in about 15 seconds, (if you leave the bracket on).    (1/4 inch bolt with wing nut. ).  The bracket is hardware from a blackburn rack mount..

Last October I was at the Oregon Manifest and I talked with a guy who was selling a product called a reach around.  This product is a bracket that makes it easier to intall fenders on bikes with little frame clearance.  I should have bought one on the spot but didn't.  

 
So, what I am asking now is, how can I obtain one of these?  Where?  How much are they?  
 
Thanks.
