Yes, I like the mechanism, as it does what it is supposed to do, until due to spacing the float gets an unexpected positioning while carrying a reference.

that's pretty hard to achieve (maybe some day)

I fully understand. Thank you Hans.

Are you sure from a stylistic point-of-view that you want a figure caption (or figure label) refer to a footnote? Although there can be different schools of thought on the editorial style of figures and figure captions, I would find it confusing for a floating object to use a non-local footnote.

My suggestion (as a sometimes editor) would be to find another solution in this case, not that I am trying to let ConTeXt off the hook...

Sure, I can also place a source in the appendice, but why not have the opportunity to do both, since basically it works? I think from the stylistic point of view I don't expect to turn back a page when looking for a foot note. Since many experienced users have workarounds for many situations, I hoped to find one here. Hans' reply was satisfactory to me too. :D Greetings, Sebastian
