Is it possible to change the text shown in \about[...] to be something else than the text given to the title key of \startsection?

\starttext \startsection[ title={Very Long}, % referencetext={Short}, % <- is there something like this? reference=mysec] We are now in \about[mysec]. % <- should render as "Short" \stopsection \stoptext

Thank you for any help,

You can use the selector mechanism to set multiple texts for the title.

\defineselector[chaptertitle][max=2,n=2]

\setuplist[chapter][textcommand={\setupselector[chaptertitle][n=1]}] \setuphead[chapter][textcommand={\setupselector[chaptertitle][n=1]}]

\starttext

\completecontent

\startchapter[reference=sec:short,title=\select{chaptertitle}{Long title for the chapter}{Short title}]

\input knuth

\about[sec:short]

\stopchapter

\stoptext

Thank you Wolfgang! This is a perfect solution. Christoph
