it depends:
  Floats: strc-flt.mkvi
  Side floats: page-sid.mkiv
  Margin data (as in your example): typo-mar.mkiv

and their respective .lua companions. I suspect you will be
interested in the function „inject()“ (part of the finalizer) in
typo-mar.lua.

+1, I’m curious too whether this can be done.
