Well, lucky me then, that I still have some answers and options in store.

How about something: 

\startbuffer
\setupcombinations[width=4cm]
\startcombination
 ...
\stopcombination

\placefigure[here][..]{none}{\getbuffer}

Something like: 

\def\koe{\sbox{\externalfigure[koe][height=\lineheight]}}

test test \koe\ test test test test \koe\ test test test
test \koe\ test test test test \koe\ test test test test
\koe\ test test test test \koe\ test test test test \koe\
test test

[so, \sbox does the trick, alternative: 

\hbox{\lower.2ex\hbox{your fig}}
