On my Cummins big vertical filters I drained the filter into a gallon bleach bottle with the top cut open to fit over the filter. I let it drain while I changed the sump oil and by then it was empty. I used the handle on the bleach bottle with a string to hold it in place.
If you want no drips at all wipe the filter hole then stick on a piece of duct tape. It will hold well enough for the short time needed to remove the filter.
