This is not possible but maybe the following is a alternative for you.
The tabulate can be used in combination with an item group to have auto generated numbers in a given column.
\starttext
\startitemize[a][stopper=)] \starttabulate \NI First entry \NC\NR \NI Second entry \NC\NR \NI Third entry \NC\NR \NI Fourth entry \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stopitemize
\stoptext
Just a short Followup and Summary.
First, standard packages in Ubuntu Bionic including the Packages built by JonathonF for TeXLive 2018 (*) seem to not yet provide \NI.
(*) The 2019 Packages are broken in the JonathonF repo
Second the non documented \itemtag which should be replaced by \NI works on my installation
Third i Figured \itemtag also works for \starttable not just for \starttabulate.
Fourth this allows me to use \Raise / Lower commands to move \itemtag to top of my Metapost picture which without would be placed at bottom of column (**)
(**) I did not manage to get same effect with A{} (alignment) style on tabulate. I fear i did not get how that works or \itemtag simply ignores it which would explain amongst others why it stayed undocumented.
Anyway i do get my Subfigure tags positioned and aligned the way i need it.
\setupexternalfigure[location=default] \starttext \starttabulate[|l|l|] \NC A \NC \tbox{\externalfigure[hacker]} \NC\NR \NC B \NC \tbox{\externalfigure[cow]} \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext Wolfgang
