You can try: \getmarking[Subject] (unless no mark is defined for Subject).

You can define a logical ref: \definereference[Whatever][GoBack]

This should work ok. It makes however more sense to ad dthis mapping
command to your local cont-sys.tex file.

Something: 

\starthelptext [alpha]
  your text 
\stophelptext

\startFLOWcell
  \name {....}
  \help {alpha}
  ...
\stopFLOWcell

The help text is for instance placed with:

\setuptexttexts[text][][\centeredbox{\helpdata}]

and can be turned off with \goto{no help}[HideHelp].
