Plasmid Phylogeny from Whole genome sequencing

Is there any way to construct phylogenetic tree of plasmids from whole genome sequencing? Please suggest the tools or methods for the same

assembly phylogeny plasmid phylogenetic tree

The best would be to sequence the plasmids and do a phylogeny but if you only have whole genome data, I think you would have to extract the plasmid sequences using tools like plasmid finder or plasmid seeker and do a phylogeny the same way as any other using tools like MEGA and MAFFT etc. For reference : https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fmicb.2018.02167/full#h3
