You can find "brick" hangers at most hardware stores. They look like really large "clips" that you put over a brick in the mix. It has a "hanger hook" on it. You position one or two, depending on the weight, on bricks and then hang it.

No fuss no muss.

Hope that helps.

If you use a masonry drill bit, you can drill a small hole in either the brick or the morter between bricks. Then, use an expansion type screw, but it needs to be one with a plastic sleeve you drive in then put the corresponding screw into the plastic, leaving a bit out for your hang wire. When removing, you can find a way to patch the hole. If in the brick, fill with wood putty and put a dab of matching paint on it and then scruff it up a bit. If morter, simply mix a small batch and patch if you remove the screw. The sleeve stays in.
