Cal-Van 967 has 4 quick-change sizes. That might get you started on making an extended size.

Strap Wrenches
Klein Tools’ strap wrenches are completely adjustable for tight-quarters tasks on polished, PVS and glass pipes, fittings, filters, conduit and shafts. Additionally, the straps are urethane-coated to resist scratching or damaging surfaces.

This is my go to for that kind of thing.
VIM tools makes self adjusting pliers. Nice tools.
Vim Tools V2400XLG XL Self-Adjusting Oil Filter PliersDefault Title
4 blades laminated non-slip jaws for enhanced grip. Jaws are designed to securely grasp the filters without crushing or tearing them. Features a locking mechanism to keep handle closed. Working range: 3-3/4" to 7"

This is my go to for that kind of thing.
What is the chance whoever developed that made a prototype out of a old seatbelt.
Or a tie down strap.
There is another wrench that is a spring steel spiral that wraps around the can...........these will apply enough force to a stuck filter to turn the can in the pressed head ......at which point you are in trouble.............Ive had this happen several times with the fuel /water separator on the early BT6 Cummins in excavators .
What wrench is that exactly?
I haven't seen these in a while. Performance Tool used to sell them.
I don't bother with anything but the Lisle tool anymore. That will get any oil filter off.

OP, what's the application? Edit, duh, you said plastic hydraulic filter. Rubber strap wrench would be my weapon of choice. The filter housing on the 6.7 is plastic and I use for that. Works.
I keep a rubber strap wrench (lrg and small), the metal strap wrench (large and small), the fluted end cap wrench, a three jaw wrench and large slip joint oil filter pliers. Use them all at some point, just depends on the application and the access.

Years ago,and I don't know what happened to it.I carried it in my semi.The principle was,one inch wide wide ratchet strap material and square tubing to fit ratchet or breaking bar.You rolled up the strap,to get the excess out,put on the filter,use your tool to break loose the filter.Not fancy,not fast,but worked.The picture with the socket got me thinking,shouldn't be to hard to custom make one for your needs.I'm off to the garage to look for mine,as I never get rid of tools,L.O.L
