If I understand you correctly. PaperWM https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM has a scratchpad but not as a single extension. It's part of the whole PaperWM way of working.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

No content? Can you maybe explain what this is?
From the Hyprland wiki:
A special workspace is what is called a “scratchpad” in some other places. A workspace that you can toggle on/off on any monitor.
Since GNOME definitely doesn't support workspaces per monitor (and I haven't seen an extension that does), I don't think this is possible.
The closest thing I can think of is quake mode. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1411/quake-mode/
I don't think it's updated for the lastest version of gnome
I'm struggling to think of what you'd even use that for
If you put a chat on your scratchpad, you can toggle the chat floating on top of all other windows and then put it away. I'll maybe put up a demo later
