Hi Pablo,

thanks for the suggestion, but I was looking for an automated method for writing a module, therefore manual reference is not feasible here.

How about the following?

    \starttext
    as in \about[section-one], \about[section-two],
    \about[section-three]...

    \section[section-one]{Section One}
    \section[section-two]{Section Two}
    \section[section-three]{Section Three}
    \stoptext
