Can a static libary *.a in Linux be dynamically loaded at runtime?
I’ve read here that

How to dynamically load static library?
A static library is more or less just a collection of object files. If you want to use a static library in a program, you have to link the executable with it. The executable will then contain the static library (or the parts that you used).
If you want to load a static library at runtime using
dlopen, you will have to first create a dynamic librarylibfoo.socontaining it.
