How do I control the vertical location of combinations?

I want output similar to

ABC \framed[frame=no, location=top]}\startcombination[2] {\externalfigure[dummay][width=2cm]}{One} {\externalfigure[dummay][width=2cm]}{Two} \stopcombination} DEF

without having to explictly add a \frame.

Looking at pack-com, I tried

\useMPlibrary[dum] \setupcombination[location=top]

\starttext ABC \startcombination[2] {\externalfigure[dummay][width=2cm]}{One} {\externalfigure[dummay][width=2cm]}{Two} \stopcombination DEF

ABC \framed[frame=no, location=top]}\startcombination[2] {\externalfigure[dummay][width=2cm]}{One} {\externalfigure[dummay][width=2cm]}{Two} \stopcombination} DEF \stoptext

but the combination is still aligned to the baseline of the caption.

The location-key controls the vertical alignment of the images in the combination and I think the environment is meant as display element and not for inline as you try to use it. As you can see in pack-com.mkiv the content of the environment is put a \vbox which explains the location when you use it in your text.

Thanks. I'll just create a macro to wrap everything around a framed. Aditya
