Dear All,

I would like to use the margin for two different purposes: For brief notes, using
\inmargin, and to mark entire paragraphs sections of the text with vertical lines.

So, I’d like to be able to something like this

\starttext

\startsquigglyline
\inmargin{read \\ this \\ first}
\input{knuth} 
\stopsquigglyline

\startthinline
\inmargin{read \\ this \\ next}
\input{tufte}
\stopthinline

\stoptext


I know I could use frames to accomplish the vertical features within in the text area, but I’d prefer to use the margin so that framing paragraphs doesn’t
indent the paragraphs compared to the unframed portions. 
But I also want to have the \inmargin notes to be lined up properly. So it looks like I would need to divide the margin into two horizontally
separate regions. On left pages, the left region would be used for the \inmargin notes, and the (very thin) right region would be used for the
vertical features (squigglyline and thinline). For right pages the other way around. Of course I’d also like the vertical features to extend across pages, if needed.
Like so:


 Left Page						Right Page

read	( 	Knuth					Tufte	|	read
this	)	Knuth					Tufte	|	this
first	(	Knuth					Tufte	|	next
	)	Knuth					Tufte	|
	(	Knuth					Tufte	|

Is there a mechanism in place for that? 
Thanks for any hints!
