Many thanks to all of you Hans, Wolfgang, and Pablo!

\definelayer and \startviewerlayer is a nice interface to basic OCGs construction.

Is there any way to construct "Set-OCG-State Actions" with ConTeXt? (See Section 8.5 Actions in the PDF Reference.) I admit that this is an advanced feature of PDF and that most viewers apart from the Adobe Reader are not capable of handling OCGs correctly.
