Figure labels in combinations

Figure labels in combinations

I am trying to typeset two or more figures next to each other, inside a floating environment, each with its own label. I am familiar with a mechanism of the form

\startplacefigure[reference=pic]
\startcombination[3*1]
{figure 1}{a}
{figure 2}{b}
{figure 3}{c}
\stopcombination
\stopplacefigure

which then requires
\in{figure}{b}[pic]
to reference, as documented on the context wiki. The problem with this mechanism is that if figure 2, say, is moved elsewhere and ts label becomes "d", all references to it have to be corrected by hand. Is there a mechanism to reference directly the figures inside, without having to depend on the outer float? What I am thinking of, is an hypothetical "\placeinlinefigure" command, so that one could write, in analogy with \placefigure,
\startplacefigure[number=no]
\startcombination[3*1]
{\placeinlinefigure[pic1]{figure 1}}{}
{\placeinlinefigure[pic2]{figure 2}}{}
{\placeinlinefigure[pic3]{figure 3}}{}
\stopcombination
\stopplacefigure

so that one could then use
\in[pic1]
Of course, there is then the issue of having the ability to use the same counter of the placefigure environment, and of disabling the combination caption. I could not find anything along these lines in the documentation; also tried to concoct a "nonfloating" float or to use an enumeration, but was not able to come up with a solution.

This does not answer your question, but do you know about:

\startplacefigure
  \startcombination [nx=3,alternative=label]
    {figure 1}
    {figure 2}
    {figure 3}
  \stopcombination
\stopplacefigure

Thank you Alan. Yes, I have seen the possibility of generating automatically the labels but unfortunately the problem remains when you move the subfigure. In the meantime, I have tried this:

\startplacefigure [number=no]
\startcombination [nx=3]
{figure 1} {\incrementcounter[figure]\textreference[pic1]{\getnumber[figure]}\in[pic1]}
{figure 2} {...similar...}
{figure 3} {...similar...}
\stopcombination
\stopplacefigure

and then
\in[pic1]
in the body of the text, which looked very promising; the trouble is that for some reason that i do not understand, the \in[pic1] in the label of the picture works ok, but anywhere else in the text, either before of after the placefigure environment, it generates a reference to the last picture produced, that is pic3 after and pic0, say, before. I though it was aproblem of expanding the figure counter and added \expanded either before \getnumber of \textreference, but with no luck...
