To be honest, the right tool for the job is going to get you the best results, chipping and hacking away at it with impact and or hammer type tools makes for a sloppy rough opening, that will require repair, surfacing etc. in most instances.
3 course thick, I agree, hire it done from a concrete cutting outfit with a concrete chainsaw, cuts wet no dust, accurate and will leave you with a smooth rough opening, without fracturing beyond the rough opening, potentially weakening the wall etc.
There are other methods, but these outfits have the right tools, are quick and there will be minimal mess, no dust. On one project I did when in high rise construction I hired out $50,000 worth of cutting, core drilling and the like, some of which was 5000 psi concrete plank with wire strand reinforcing, concrete saw went right through it on 10 floors, elevator entrance planks were slightly longer, dimension on the drawings or a mistake by the plant, can't recall, that saw made short work of it.
Typically a masonry doorbuck is mortared in as the brick or block wall is erected, no fasteners, but I believe you should be able to source a frame that can be fastened with the use of a mechanical fastener, like an expansion bolt, sleeve anchor etc., like what Hilti, Redhead, Powers, Fastenal can provide, I like Hilti the best.
Only other way is while doing the demo, "tooth out" the courses, then mortar the bricks back in, with the tiebacks/embeds for the frame but with 3 courses, that would seemingly be more trouble than its worth.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
