On electric guitar bending open strings is easily done with the tremolo arm. I've seen it in some transcriptions of guitar-solo's in popular music, but I can't recall where I've seen it.

I thought of placing the bottleneck at half-fret position without
pressing down.  I mean, it's a glissando device, right?

That would more be like a permanent change of tuning I think.  Depending
on the guitar's setup, "bending" beyond the nut may be an option for
open strings.
