Hello again,
in the MWE below I’d like to limit the run width of the item text so that the (page) number is standing out, e.g.
• This is a long and winding text
   that leads to a number .......... 99
The text can become one or several lines long.
I tried to put the text in boxes, e.g. \simplealignedbox{}{}{\vbox{...}} but I got only ugly spacing.
Also, the last line of the text continues in that leaders and number.

\def\leaderfill{\leaders\hbox to 1em{\hss. \hss}\hfill}
\starttext
\startitemize[packed,joinedup]
\startitem
  \input tufte
  \leaderfill 33
\stopitem
\startitem
  \input knuth
  \leaderfill 99
\stopitem
\stopitemize
\stoptext
No idea? Anyone?
Would it work to force an overfull hbox somehow in every last line?
\def\MyFill#1%
   {\leaders\hbox to 1em{\hss.\hss}\hfill
    \rlap{\hbox to \rightskip{\hss#1}}}
\showframe

\starttext

\startnarrower[2*right]
\startitemize[packed,joinedup]
\startitem
	\input tufte
	\MyFill{33}
\stopitem
\startitem
	\input knuth
	\MyFill{99}
\stopitem
\stopitemize
\stopnarrower

\stoptext
