Allow extraction of smart object items.
Currently you can rasterize the smart object - or manually drag the layers from the smart object back into the document - but it would be great if I could just select "extract objects".

And what if the smart object has been resized? Then you can give the alert:
This smart object has been scaled, would you like to extract the layers in their original size or in their scaled version?
[Original] [Scaled]
[ x ] Scale effects

    Unfortunately, this is usually impossible to do without losing quality.

    Ignoring the transform: the mode, bit depth, resolution, global FX settings, pixel aspect ratio, and all other document settings would have to match. That's generally only possible if the child document was made from the parent document. If those don't match, we'd have to do a conversion, and the appearance is likely to change.

    A feature to extract out / Split Open the content of the Smart Object to the Current Layer would be useful.
