I searched the archives of this mailing list about a year ago for info
on that subject, and found nothing. So it would appear there is no such
way ... though I didn't investigate very deeply.

What I would do--if I were working with new documents--would be to
create the documents in XML; then I could use ConTeXt for the print
version, and XSLT to generate HTML. XSLT isn't exactly easy, but it is
proven and widely used.

If you need to work with documents that are already in ConTeXt ...  you
know, now that I think about it, it probably wouldn't be very hard to
write a script to translate ConTeXt to XML. Once you've done that
translation,  you use XSLT to output HTML.

Again, not easy, but certainly feasible.
