Where are IntelliJ scratch files located?

Question

In IntelliJ IDEA 14, we can create scratch files from Tools > New Scratch File...

Are they stored in some temporary files? If the answer is yes, where are they?

Attempts:

1) I pressed right click > Copy Reference and I pasted it:

1d0b26a2/scratch.2:1

2) I opened .idea\workspace.xml and I have the following part for scratch files:

  <file leaf-file-name="scratch.2" pinned="false" current-in-tab="true">
    <entry file="scratchpad://1d0b26a2/scratch.2">
      <provider selected="true" editor-type-id="text-editor">
        <state vertical-scroll-proportion="0.0" vertical-offset="0" max-vertical-offset="636">
          <caret line="0" column="0" selection-start-line="0" selection-start-column="0" selection-end-line="0" selection-end-column="20" />
          <folding />
        </state>
      </provider>
    </entry>
  </file>

For a normal file the entry path starts with file:// instead of scratchpad://.

Starting with 14.1, Scratch Files are stored under .IntellijIdea14/config/scratches.

They are displayed either in Scratches and Consoles or on the Scratches tab (depends on the version you are using).
