Can you import a reference frame manually for Content Aware Fill?

I'm trying to use After Effects to remove some text from a video. When I try to use Content Aware Fill, clicking create reference frame opens Photoshop 2022, even though I have '24 installed. Can I somehow create the frame in 24 and tell After Effects to use it (like exporting it as a .png or something)? For some reason, I cannot for the life of me get it to open in '24 and I'd like to use that because of the more advanced tools, but it just won't open.
