I am using a layout with wide right margin. For floats that are
\textwidth wide, I can place captions in the margin
using**\setupcaption[location=rightmargin,high/low].
However, for figures that are
(*\textwidth+\marginwidth+\margindistance*) wide, I would like to *place
the caption in the margin below the figure*. I have tried
spacebefore=\vskip but it doesn't seem to do anything. Another option
was to use default caption location (below the figure) and add \hspace
before figure placement.
None of these work as I am not able to make spacebefore do anything.
*MWE*
\setuplayout[width=5cm, height=13cm,rightmargin=5cm]
\setupexternalfigures[option=empty]
\setupfloat[figure][location=inner]
%
\setupcaption
[figure]
[width=5cm,
location={rightmargin,low},
spacebefore=big]
%\setupcaption
%[figure]
%[width=5cm]
\starttext
\showframe
\placefigure{A small but important
caption.}{\externalfigure[cow][width=10cm]}
\stoptext

For a recent project I had the similar requirements. I did not find a proper solution. I attached an example of the code I used. However, it has several issues: 1) Margin floats and texts overlay and need manual adjustment. 2) The baseline of the float description does not match the baseline of the main text (fixed using manual trial and error). I used an ugly hack (toffset=7.5ex) to align the description vertically. 3) The \startplacesmartfigure is not very robust. My notes say “Do not indent \startplacesmartfigure”. I don't recall what the exact issue was. 4) Probably many more that I haven't discovered, yet. Feel free to suggest fixes for the mentioned issues.

As I am working on a deadline right now, I am just going to use the frame trick to place the caption for wide figures. However, expect to hear from me in future regarding this code.
