I'am using the following setup and referring to the .bib file by \cite[key]:

    \setupbibtex[database=references,sort=author]
    \setuppublications[alternative=aps]
    \setuppublications[ 
        criterium=all,
        sorttype=bbl,
        numbering=short,
        numbercommand=\bibkeyfmt,
        autohang=yes, 
        refcommand=short,
    ]
    \setuppublicationlist[
        totalnumber=50,
        after={\vskip 3ex},
        author={\normalauthor},
    ]

Uhm, am i blind? Sorry, but i can't find the thread you mentioned (searched in
the ml archives by the www.ntg.nl webfrontend). The only mail of Torge i've
found is his reply to this thread. Btw. I can confirm his statement, we do not
know each other (yet). ;)

Thanks, that worked just fine here! :) The red ones are wrong, i suppose, than
i set the interactive color to blue (by setting the color argument). Thats why
the rest is blue. Whats the difference of the "color" and the "contrastcolor"
argument of \setupinteraction? Sounds semantically equal to me.

Also thanks for this hint, it worked as imagined! Elegance is at the current
stage of writing not an issue, just finishing it. 


Thanks for your help so far, i'am a step closer to my dreamsetup. :)
