Header for brick on wood structure
(OP)
Is it true that a wood header is not allowed to support brick veneer? How would you support a 20 ft opening with 16 ft high of brick? Assuming that the entire building frame structure is made of wood. (Would an LVL qualify?)

Some jurisdictions allow steel angle bolted to wood member.
Provide steel beam with plate (and braces).
