If you use File > Place Embedded... to place a PNG file, then Photoshop places it as a Smart Object. When you double-click on the Smart Object, then it will open that placed PNG. If you want the contents of the Smart Object to be a PSB, then you could do the following:Double-click on the Smart Object in the document to open the PNG fileUse File > Save As... to save a PSB version of the PNG to a location where you can find itGo back to the main documentIn the Layers panel on the Smart Object layer (and to the right of the thumnail) right-click and in the contextual menu that appears, select Replace Contents...Navigate to the PSB file that you saved
