The IDE is literally a text editor. Why not hit file -> new file and write stuff in there?

For me it's the risk of littering in a project repo.

So I use Zim wiki instead: https://zim-wiki.org/

AFAIK all editors and IDEs I've ever used can open a random file in a new tab, even if it is outside of the repository.
Because "random human-language notes" are conceptually different from source code for me.
