Can you replace oil filter without draining oil?

Stupid question. I was half way doing oil change and realized I didn't have a new oil filter. Is there a way to just change the oil filter (since it's on top) without having to drain the oil ?

Thanks

Absolutely not a problem. Just compensate for the amount of oil in the filter to top it off, if you have to add any at all based on what you put in it to start with.
