2. How do I get CoTeXt to recognise the ref.bib file when I run the components not the product?

For context, I don’t want the references printed at the end of each chapter but I would like the in-text citation to work (if that is possible). If not, is it possible compile the whole product but only output a certain page range?

You need to include the \usebtxdataset [ref.bib] in an environment file that gets read each run.

A limitation, or rather a design goal, of the bibliography subsystem is that citations will not work unless you render the bibliography list.

You can, of course, cheat: \setbox\scratchbox\vbox{\placelistofpublications}

Why is this? The reasoning is that it makes no sense to give list numbers or list labels (e.g. APA : authoryear) if there is no list, for these numbers or labels depend on the context (bibliography by chapter, by part, by volume, or by book, for example).
