This is also a common way of squeezing lemons (where the seeds are
more obtrusive than tomatoes). For canned tomatoes you could try
halving them crosswise (if they're truly whole) and, while applying
gentle pressure, rotating them in your hand above a strainer (as if
you were gently juicing a lemon). The seeds and liquid will drop into
the strainer, and you can separate them and save the liquid of you
want.
