Alternative to Y sort?

Hello.
I’m working on a top down 2D project (Think Earth Bound and Mother 3 prospective).
I’ve created an entire room as a single sprite. In this room there are various different objects such as chairs and plants.

I was wondering is there a “cheat” way to manually sort the y position of different sections of the sprite. I know normally I should break down the single sprite into separate sprites for each object in the room then us Y-sort to automatically sort the objects. But I was hoping for a cheat method where I could select parts of the single massive sprite and set them to different layers.

Thank you for your time. I’m fairly new to Godot and I really enjoy using it.
