I would be interesting to know if it is possible to design a special balun that can

Sure. k9yc.com/RFI-Ham.pdf has a bunch of simple designs. It's called a common mode choke. To confuse people, some call a common mode choke a current balun. BUT -- most commercially available "current baluns" are pretty poor.
