You are extremely confused about just what a 'lintel' is and just what a 'lintel' does...
A 'lintel' is nothing more than a 'header' over a window, door, or arch opening.
In standard WOOD framing a 'lintel' is simply a 2x10 double header which spans and supports the opening above a door or window.
In 'block' framing a 'lintel' is either a masonry solid stone, block, or concrete 'header' that is placed above a structural door or window opening OR CAN BE a steel angle iron sized and formed to span the opening.
