I'm going to ask a really stupid question:

Is it possible to knock down a load-bearing wall but keep the load bearing part?

Like, can we keep a column or something there and still open up the space?

Yep, you fit a suitable lintel. RSJ or a commercially made product. It has to be professionally done with supports while the lintel is fitted into place, you need to get professional advise tho
