I have a need to tag elements in a text in a way that they are sequentially numbered and can have references to refer to them. Something like:
Here is some \tag[tagref]{\bf text} that is tagged.
.
.
.
Refer to tag \tagnumber[tagref] on page \at[tagref].
What is the best way to do this in ConTeXt? I’ve got a counter for tag number, but I’m not sure how to use \reference so that it uses my tag number. For instance:
\definecounter[myTagCounter]
.
.
.
\reference[tagref]{\rawcountervalue[myTagCounter]}
Doesn’t work. But perhaps I’m going about this incorrectly?
Thanks in advance!

The label mechanism worked great.
Thanks!
