Then, the only feasible pathway may be to do the job manually
according to the description on PROCAR file specification shown on
vasp wiki [1]:
```
For LNONCOLLINEAR=.TRUE. three additional projections for each ion are
printed and the output is similar to

Here the entries correspond to the projected magnetizations
1 / 2 \sum_{\mu, \nu=1}^{2} \sigma_{\mu \nu}^{j}\left\langle\chi_{n
\mathbf{k}}^{\mu} \mid Y_{l m}^{\alpha}\right\rangle\left\langle Y_{l
m}^{\alpha} \mid \chi_{n \mathbf{k}}^{\nu}\right\rangle
and are calculated for the spinor of the spinor
\left|\Psi_{n \mathbf{k}}\right\rangle=\left(\begin{array}{c}\chi_{n
\mathbf{k}}^{\uparrow} \\ \chi_{n
\mathbf{k}}^{\downarrow}\end{array}\right)
and the Pauli matrices:
\sigma^{x}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0\end{array}\right),
\quad \sigma^{y}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}0 & -i \\ i &
0\end{array}\right), \quad \sigma^{z}=\left(\begin{array}{cc}1 & 0 \\
0 & -1\end{array}\right)
The first set is the total (absolute) magnetization, while the
remaining three sets of entries correspond to the three directions j =
1 , 2 , 3.
