Break apart smart objects with embedded vectors linked to Illustrator into Photoshop layers

Feature request - Break apart smart objects with embedded vectors linked to Illustrator, into native Photoshop shape layers.

 

This would similarly work like the "break apart" feature from Flash back in the day, a means of un-nesting a vector object into the most root level type of vector native to photoshop.

 

This is to work around some files layered this way from Adobe Stock and files done by graphic designers that just happen to work this way.

 

It would then prepare an easy way to convert artwork from .PSD to .AI by easily exporting to Illustrator.

@yash-lucid this I would love to see! It would remove a common source of frustration and make the Photoshop/Illustrator integration truly feel seamless and efficient
