To make life a little easier: if you have multiple images open in Photoshop, then you can load them as layers in a new document automatically by using 'File - Scripts- Load Files into Stacks'. In the dialog that comes up, click the 'Add Open Files' button.
The open in layers feature is a Lightroom Classic only feature. Lightroom desktop cannot do this without some manual moving of layers between documents you open in Photoshop individually.
