Expand search bar so it can be used as notepad

Not sure if there's a way to do this, but it'd be amazing to use Alfred as a ScratchPad. 
I'd like a multi line field where I can type and copy paste text. These notes should be saved in the clipboard. 

Thanks!

@brank87 While it's unlikely this would happen, here's a workflow I use as scratchpad. 

 

It just creates a new file in my Documents folder if it doesn't exist, otherwise appends my current clipboard content to it with today's timestamp before it, either by using the keyword "scratch" or a hotkey. It's become automatic to bring it up with the hotkey combo every time I start a phonecall, knowing I'll probably need to scribble something.

Of course, modify it as you wish if you'd prefer it created a new file every time, overwrite the previous one, don't paste in clipboard content, etc...

 

Cheers,
Vero
