Is there a way to split a layer based on contiguous area?

So that, for instance, a layer with 20 'islands' of solid colour, separated by a sea of full transparency, would produce 20 new layers for each island?

To do this by hand, you could try the following:


With your island layer selected, use the magic wand tool to select one island
Ctrl + J (or CMD + J if you're on a Mac) to create a new layer with the selected pixels copied into it.
Repeat for the rest of your islands.
