If you want to paste all the contents of the file at once, you could write a quick AppleScript action to do so, like so:
on open thefile set the clipboard to (do shell script "cat " & ¬ quoted form of POSIX path of thefile) tell application "System Events" to ¬ keystroke "v" using command down end open Alternatively, you might consider using the Shelf plugin. It is designed precisely for the task of holding frequently used snippets for easy access. Then you wouldn't need to mess around with a bunch of files like this, but could instead just put your snippets on the Shelf.
