I can't find any plugin for doing that, but it's natively supported in Mac!
So the final answer is convert it for example to PNG?

Not sure if it will work with Photoshop, but there are two Microsoft extensions:
HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer:

HEIF Image Extensions:

AFAIK both extensions are needed.
It works with Irfanview, so you can convert to any other format.

There is also CopyTrans HEIC:

Microsoft extensions are useless, doesn't open most HEIF & 10bit HEVC files!
digiKam opens them without any problem, Irfan sometimes doesn't load, sometimes does!
