Thanks Jon for the script (AppleScript is still being procrastinated
in my todo list).
Unfortunately I get the following error in the Console
23.2.12 18:26 PM Quicksilver[90974] Perform AppleScript Action Error:
"NSAppleScriptErrorNumber" = -1701;
"NSAppleScriptErrorBriefMessage" = "The iObject parameter is missing
for \U00abevent DAEDopnt\U00bb.";
"NSAppleScriptErrorRange" = NSRange: {0, 0};
"NSAppleScriptErrorMessage" = "The iObject parameter is missing for
\U00abevent DAEDopnt\U00bb.";

How can I customize the action to save the note as a TextClipping to
the Desktop as its default destination.
