[NTG-context] Re: framed boxes top aligned howto?

Forget this question: location=top did the trick. Should have found earlier. Rest of the day contemplating over the fact it took me so long to find out 🥲 yours sincerely dr. Hans van der Meer

I have no problem of aligning two or more \framedtext boxes bottomwise on the baseline, nor centering them vertically within a \vcenter. But I do not succeed in placing them with their top aligned without the following trick: typeset them in a box, determine largestheight and then typeset again each within: \vbox to largestheight and \vill'ed to the bottom.

All very well, but it is disastrous when there are side effects: twice typesetting then fails in some instances. I hope I described the question sufficiently clear, because an MWE is not so minimal.

Therefore my question: how can I align two or more \framedtext's thus:

|----------] |----------] |----------] ... | ] [ ] [ ] | ] [ ] [ ] | ] [ ] [ ] | ] |----------] [ ] | ] [ ] | ] [ ] |----------] [ ] |----------]
