Do any of the external filters have a conveniently useable means of draining water in a reverse flow mode to "flush" the filter?, as opposed to dismantling and rinsing

All you need to do is to make sure the inlet of the canister is outside the tank and and lower than the bottom of the tank. Release the taps and it should backflush using suction from the canister outlet in the tank.
