I like this idea since it solves the issue of easily persisting things you may want to keep around, but wouldn't it limit the types of things you can persist (e.g. can you easily persist ideas/snippets this way)?
Ideas no, but I sometimes drag snippets of text to the desktop too and they get saved as `.textClipping` files.
I think ideas are folder-like structures so I usually create a folder to store code/links/pdfs/clippings specific to that idea, then file away that Idea folder as one piece.
My general advice is to spend less time planning and more time doing, else you might get stuck on what Ze Frank calls "Brain Crack" http://youtu.be/0sHCQWjTrJ8?t=8s
