Is this the same question you are asking in your other thread? You have the same image in each.

If there aren’t too many, one semi-automatic way is to combine the Object Selection tool with Layer > New > Layer Via Cut, as in the demo below. To speed it up, I do the later ones with the keyboard shortcut for Layer Via Cut and Select Layer Below.

Thanks for the answer. I want something like this. If is this possible. I will select all the objects and photoshop split each object into different layers.

If all of those rectangles with text were on the same layer, then you could duplicate the layer and select and delete the parts you don't want from the copies.

I am working on a drawing that is created by using circles. The drawing is in a PNG file. Now I want to make changes to it. I want to select all the circles and want to take each circle to a different layer. Is it possible?

Please post a screenshot of the workspace including the circles and canvas and layers panel.

Or attach a copy of the PNG.

P. S. Did you look at the script link?

The following script doesn't use selections, it uses the transparency of a single layer to split to multiple layers:
