Difficult to do.

There is a bung in the end of the drain pipe to keep the airbox sealed. The drain runs out of the clean-air side of the airbox, so to allow the oil to drip on to the chain would need some form of one way valve that lets oil out, but doesn't let air in. This is compounded by the fact that the air pressure in the drain tube would be lower than the outside air pressure, so the natural flow would be inward.
