Hi Alan,

I guess you are using mkiv, since in mkii your code seems to work here.
Then, I think the way references to floats should be entered have changed and one should use a construction such as:

\setupinteraction[state=start]

\starttext
\goto{Figure A}[fig:cow.pdf]

Reference to Figure A on page \at[fig:cow.pdf]

\goto{Table 1}[tab:Table01]

\goto{Some text}[Text]

\page
\startplacefigure[reference=fig:cow.pdf,title=Figure A][here,page,force,nonumber]
\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=.5\textwidth]
\stopplacefigure
\page
\startplacetable[reference=tab:Table01,title=Table 1][here,force,nonumber]
{\starttabulate[| l | l |]
\NC 1000
\NC 2000
\NC\NR
\stoptabulate}
\stopplacetable
 
\page
Some text\reference[Text]{}
\stoptext

which gives appropriate working links. 
There should be also a short version of \placefigure or \placetable, but I don't remember the correct syntax… Sorry!

Best regards: OK

Sorry to keep pushing this—it is a problem for a journal that I publish.

I have re-installed the ConTeXt standalone and the problem persists with

\setupinteraction[state=start]

\starttext
\goto{Figure A}[fig:cow.pdf]

Reference to Figure A on page \at[fig:cow.pdf]

\goto{Table 1}[tab:Table01]

\goto{Some text}[Text]

\page
\useexternalfigure[Graphic][cow.pdf][]
\placefigure [here,page,force,nonumber]
[fig:cow.pdf]
  {Figure A}
{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][type=pdf,
width=.5\textwidth]}
\page
\placetable [here,force,nonumber]
[tab:Table01]
{Table 1}
{\starttabulate[| l | l |]
\NC 1000
\NC 2000
\NC\NR
\stoptabulate}
 
\page
Some text\reference[Text]{}
\stoptext

Only the last \goto works. Even the \at link fails, which is really discouraging.

The problem persists with the latest beta. Am I not encoding this properly?

And in such cases, should one include a sample .pdf file as well?

The following compiles in the latest beta standalone but with dead links to the Figure:

\setupinteraction[state=start]
\starttext
\goto{Figure A}[fig:Figure.pdf]

\goto{Text A}[TextA]
\page
\useexternalfigure[Graphic][Figure.pdf][]
\placefigure
[here,page,force,nonumber]
[fig:Figure.pdf]
  {Figure A}
{\externalfigure[Figure.pdf][type=pdf,
width=\textwidth]}
 
\reference[TextA]{}
\input knuth
\stoptext

Any suggestions?

Alan
