I have tried several other keys but with leftmargin, inleft the figure is not put in the top of the page, "independent of the text". Can I fix this with some setup?

Thank you very much for your fast reply, Wolfgang. That is what I looked for. However, a new problem appeared now. The example file
\setuppapersize[A5][A5]
\setuplayout[
footer=0cm,
header=0.6cm,
headerdistance=0.2cm,
footerdistance=0cm,
topspace=1cm,
backspace=4cm,
leftmargin=3cm,
rightmargin=0cm,
leftmargindistance=0.5cm,
height=fit,
width=fit,
]
\setupmarginblocks[location=left]
\starttext
\showlayout
\placefigure[margin][none]{With the key margin}{\externalfigure[cow][width=3cm]}
\input tufte
\stoptext
does not work as intended for me. The layout looks OK if I read the \showlayout output correctly, but the cow is not put entirely in the margin, but sticks out outside the page. I attach the output of the code above.
Best regards, Mikael
