I would do this with File > New Resource > New Stencil making myself a new stencil containing a set of the basic shapes I needed, in which each shape was grouped (Arrange > Group ⌘⇧G) with a similar but slightly larger shape, which:
  1. is behind it,
  2. shares its centre,
  3. has neither fill nor stroke,
  4. and has the magnet pattern that you want

to simply provide the invisible fringe.

Once you have prepared your stencil, you can drag from it as many copies as you need of each specially prepared shape, and there will automatically be gaps at the start and end of any connecting arrows between such shapes.

(And, of course, if you submit your new stencil to Graffletopia, you will find it available through the stencil window on any machine on which you subsequently use OmniGraffle).
