Default Here's a dumb oil cooling question

... I've heard mumblings that the higher capacity oil filter helps with oil temp. Is it possible to cool the oil filter without re-routing the oil into a radiator? I think a finned oil filter wouldn't provide much cooling but would something like a water jacket around an oil filter work then take the heated water to a radiator or would there not be enough heat transfer? Since its not re-routing the oil it wouldn't affect the warranty...
