Last time I had to do something like this I've kept both books in one master file (actually one master file for part 1, one for part 2, one for both together). With that I could easiliy have a table of contents for both volumes.

Thank you. This was my initial approach, although I know that ConTeXt can do better!

I will look into the suggestion sent by Richard Mahoney, as it looks like a good solution to the problem.

In fact, Richard does NOT render the TOC of Volume 2 in Volume 1, nor the TOC of Volume 1 in Volume 2, only the TOC of each volume, respectively. I have tried using \useexternalfile [VolI] [Book_VolumeI] [{Volume I}] (in Book_VolumeII.tex) to read in the Book_VolumeI.tuc With this, I can indeed use \from [VolI] to add the file::Book_VolumeI.pdf hyperlink with the text "Volume I". However, \in{Chapter} [VolI::ch:mychapterreference] gives no number (but ?? does not get substituted and VolII::ch:mychapterreference does NOT return a missing reference message in the Book_VolumeII.log file). Alan P.S. Once that works, maybe I can figure out how to render the TOC. I would expect/hope that \placecontents [criterium=VolI::all] would be the way to go.
