Would this be possible to do in Roblox or does this require some revolutionary volumetric lighting that needs to be implemented into the Roblox Engine?

Thanks.

I hope I helped

if you need shadows(high quality ones) you should use billboard GUI, but if you just want the beam effect you could use particle emitters with light influence set to .5 or higher
