Get masks/Selections from Camera Raw

The masking tools in Camera Raw are easy, efficient, and powerful, especially with the Alt Intersect shortcut.

It might be very useful, if we could export them to be re-used in Photoshop, even if we lose their dynamicness.

And another request that is as, or even more important would be to see other layers in ACR: https://community.adobe.com/t5/camera-raw-ideas/p-camera-raw-adjustments-in-context-of-other-layers/idi-p/12221138

That would be great to be able to export a mask. There are roundabout ways to do it, but it's time consuming.

I know this might require a big structural change from the plugins architecture, but the benefits would be huge.
I am aware of workarounds such as creating extremely strong edits and using bleng modes/ luminosity masking to extract them.
