As a windows user, while we don't have an OS built-in equivalent, the standard for such tools (in the form of Sublime and the like) is just to operate with temporary buffers that get written out as files on user request. Sublime will write internal data to some persistent storage somewhere and be able to survive sudden crashes and restarts but when you'd like to save the data out to a fixed filepath it's pretty trivial to do so. I do find it quite weird that Apple has managed to cultivate a system where storage in separate files isn't taken as the default.
