I tried writing some autocommands, but they didn't work, because it
seems the buffer type isn't set until after autocommands fires. I think,
then, that you'll probably have to make a custom command to do it, so
that when you open the quickfix window it sets that option at the same
time. Maybe something like

:command! Copen copen | setlocal wrap linebreak

Then do :Copen instead of :copen to open the quickfix window and I
expect it will work.
