  Perhaps you could make a SBSAR and load it in PS?

  Hi
  Adobe Designer gradient node comes with a great fast color picker. While Photoshop picker requires to pick tones one by one.
  
  How could I be as fast in Photoshop? (currently either using SD and copying over to PS either using Random them remapping colours)
  

  
  

  It's now in library panel . window>library.    You hit small plus in the bottom of the panel and chose "extract from image"   . in opened dialog  chose gradient  tab and it work same way as in designer mostly.      it creates a library item available online  , you can right click it and chose "create gradient preset"   then it will be available for gradient map.  

  For my taste  picking works a bit more convenient than in designer  but overall too many extra clicks .

  Will check both answers thank you . 
  When using the CC Library gradient option (not too bad ; many extra click ; better than nothing!) 
  Then how do you use that same gradient for a “Gradient Transfer Curve”  ? from Image menu 
  A sbsar using the dynamic gradient could be as efficient - Just not sure if my licence is up to date for sbsar usage.

  I am not sure whats "gradient transfer curve"  in Photoshop but it's sounding like "gradient map"  . To have library panel gradient preset available  you need to right click it there (in library panel) and chose "create gradient preset"     . it will copy the preset to last used gradient presets folder .   Then it's available for gradient map when you click gradient stripe in properties panel.

  
  

  As of sbsars  they are  in window>materials .  You can use  +  there to add your custom sbsar.   But gradient node in Substance Designer doesn't have exposable parameters  so it wouldn't give you anything imo.
