Is it possible to replace text strings with components?

I am redesigning the news section of a corporate website. From the articles Iisting, I extracted all the h2’s (article titles).

I then pasted it to Figma, and split the text into separate text layers using the Nisa plugin, like so:

Is it possible to convert the text layers to instances of an existing component?

The only method I know of so far, is cutting and pasting 😬

Grateful for any tips 😀
