Can ConTeXt print specific paragraph and sentences from an input file?

Can ConTeXt print specific paragraph and sentences from an input file?

Assuming I have an input file with an essay:
\starttext
\input essay
\stoptext

Is there any command to tell ConTeXt to print a specific sentence, e.g. the first sentence from paragraph 2, or the last sentence from paragraph 1, etc?

depends on the kind of input, coding etc .. how reliable is is to 
recognize a sentence and such, but given that tex is a programing 
environment all is possible in the end

I've tried to keep all of the input files entirely plain text, as much as possible. The exception is two custom macros used to mark citations that are in the text, \turabian{}{}{} and \ibid{}{}{}. I could find no way of getting around including that in the text, as legally I must include the citations. The rest of the text is plain text with no other ConTeXt markup, or at leave hardly any.
