In Designer (and Photo for that matter), I think it would be quite easy to Invert the PNG then Rasterize to Mask.

Oh, well done! 

For some strange reason I keep forgetting about ‘Rasterize to Mask’.

What exactly is Rasterize?  What does that do?

Rasterize = convert to a bitmap representation = make pixels out of it (instead of vectors)

‘Rasterize’ and ‘Rasterize to Mask’ are separate commands. The former simply converts the selected layer to a collection of pixels, whereas the latter not only converts the selected layer but also applies it as an opacity mask so that the target layer is 100% opaque where the mask is white and 0% opaque — i.e. 100% transparent — where the mask is black.
