For the old implementation (pre 2016-ish) I had a working solution
because shading to transparent colours just worked (at least in my
case of a simple transparent shade, nothing fancy), but not so any
longer. With the new implementation I couldn't get it working. But
we discussed that at some point in the past. I believe the gist of
it was “shade-to-transparent is gone”.

If there's no easy solution, it's alright. If have a workaround. No
need to waste time on exotic features (as long as masks in external
figures keep working). Still, if you happen to know a trick to pull
that off in ConTeXt, let me know.
