Does anyone know of hardware such as from Simpson that would allow me to hang a header between two studs versus having to put a jack underneath the header?

simpson HH4 or HH6 can be used (check to be sure that the loads are within the allowable range)

Blue. I think I'll paint the ceiling blue.
You guys are the best. Thanks Boss for the illustration. That is exactly what I needed
I'm assuming this is load bearing. In cases where an opening was framed too small and a jack had to be removed, I have just added a second king stud and then a ~5"x7" mending plate with 16p nails in maybe every other hole. Inspectors always accepted it.
