Hi Julian,
you’re right, the example didn’t do what you wanted, and it didn’t
intend to.
Using \getmarking you can get a section title (or another “mark”), you
can’t combine it with the variable commands, and you don’t need it for
your case.
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/getmarking isn’t really helpful
since there’s no example with section titles, but it shows you can also
get previous or next “marks”.
BTW, I can’t remember when you need \structurevariable vs.
\namedstructurevariable...
