Reach adjustment
I'm looking to adjust my reach, would a handlebar with a shorter reach have the same effect as a shorter stem?

It will make a difference in the distance to the hoods, but the distance to the tops will remain the same.

Yes - And the changes can be dramatic - Especially if your and older guy...
Changed the stem on an old UO-8 to just 1.5 cm longer - Wow - Two days latte changed it back and apologized...

Just installed a Soma Highway One bar last week, replacing a 3TTT Morphe (older aluminum version), which was shorter reach when it came out. The Highway One moved the hoods back about 1.5cm. I also found that the tops felt "crowded" on the narrower Morphes, so I went up one size to 42cm. I'm very pleased with this bar!
