Sorry Hans, i think my question was misleading.

AFAIK a page provides following fields:

       leftedge  leftmargin  text  rightmargin  rightedge
      ----------------------------------------------------
top   |   *     |    *      | 3/5|     *       |   *     |
      ----------------------------------------------------
head  |   *     |           |    |             |   *     |
      ----------------------------------------------------
text  |  1/3    |           |    |             |  5/3    |
      ----------------------------------------------------
foot  |   *     |           |    |             |   *     |
      ----------------------------------------------------
bottom|   *     |    *      | 3/1|     *       |   *     |
      ----------------------------------------------------

\startinteractionmenu[top] places in 3/5
  [right] in 5/3, [bottom] in 3/1

But how can place an interaction-menu in one of the fields
 marked with a '*'? Normally these are free.
I'm looking for something like:
  \startinteractionmenu[right,head]
Is this available?

I did, but i thought that i need some special initialisation.
But now i found that \loadmapfile[original-context-symbol.map]
does not work. After i have included an appropriate entry in
my pdftex.map file i can access the symbols.

Yep. This works.

Many thanks.
