probbaly no one knows this but there is real old feature

 >mtxrun --launch  --pattern=luametafun.pdf
mtxrun          | launching: 
c:/data/develop/tex-context/tex/texmf-context/doc/context/documents/general/manuals/luametafun.pdf

i could probably extend that with a list option (there is actually a xml 
file that describes the manuals as on the website ... it's used in 
generating the website which happens every update - from also rather 
ancient xml files)
