Yes, you can use the HDRI you want to be reflected in the material's 'Reflect BG Override' slot that is used on the window objects. You might have to use the same map in 'Refract BG override' too in some situations, just try whatever works for you.

In the material properties, there's a long list of map slots available on the bottom, that's where you'll find these two slots.

Sorry for the confusion, the map slot names seem to have changed in more recent vserions, I'm still on v9, thanks for helping out Avi.
