metafun

In preparing a presentation with contex,t I decided to generate the 
illustrations a-la metafun.  My first graphic is a traditional flow chart 
consisting of text in circles connected by arrowhead tipped lines. I'd use 
context's own chart macros, but I don't think they're applicable here since I 
want only straight lines connecting the centers of circle pairs. Instead, I 
created a grid of circles using a combination of framed texts, each with a 
circular background overlay. Looks good! Has anyone a suggestion how best to 
draw lines between circle pairs? I have cannibalized Hans's `anchors and 
layers' example that focuses on words, but I get the feeling I'm barking up 
the wrong tree. I've attached a small example file, and would welcome any 
suggestions how to proceed.

Cheers,

Michael
