Hi,
You can define a custom command for the chapter, where the first argument (i.e, the number) is 'ignored' –
\define[2]\ChapterTitle{#2}
\setuphead[chapter][command=\ChapterTitle]
It will still appeared as numbered in any lists (ToC, etc). Also, it can be accessed using \headnumber[...][...]. An example graphic –
\startuseMPgraphic {graphic:chapter}
picture cg;
cg := outlinetext.d
("\ssbfd \headnumber[chapter]")
(withcolor transparent(1,0.5,blue));
fill boundingcircle cg withcolor transparent(1, 0.5, lightgray);
draw cg;
\stopuseMPgraphic
Using \headnumber[..][..] any 'conversion' applied to the chapter number (romannumerals, words, etc) are also preserved.
Best,
Sreeram
