Has anyone implemented pull quotes using ConTeXt? What would be the
best approach to take?

I have no clue what pull quotes are.

Why not just put it in a float?

OK, after some fiddling around, a combination of a framed text in a
float seems to work.
Definitions:
\definefloat[pullquote][pullquotes] % Define a new type of float
\setupcaption[pullquote][location=none] % Set it to have no captions
\defineframedtext[pullquote][frame=off] % Define a new type of framed
text with no visible frame
Usage:
\placepullquote[right]{}{
\startpullquote[width=4cm]
\tfc “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”
\stoppullquote}
The {} in the \placepullquote is the text for the caption, which in
this case is set up to be invisible. Obviously you could use the
caption feature to cite the source of quotations.

As do now know what you want here is a solution from me (MkIV only):
\usemodule[annotation]
\define[2]\PullquoteCommand
{\placefigure[\annotationparameter{location},none]{}%
{\framedtext
[frame=off,
width=\annotationparameter{width},
style=\annotationparameter{style}]
% {“#2”}}}
{\setupinterlinespace“#2”\par}}}
\defineannotation
[pullquote]
[alternative=command,
command=\PullquoteCommand,
location=right,
width=fit,
style=\tfc]
\starttext
\startpullquote[width=4cm]
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
\stoppullquote
\input knuth
\blank
\startpullquote[width=4cm,location=left]
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
\stoppullquote
\input knuth
\stoptext

Looks great, but you can not use center. Would that be possible. When
using center, the quote is centered, but the text comes after the
quote. It would be nice if the text would flow around both sides of
the quote,

A feasible solution. It is eye-catching and easy to read.

Do you really think so? How would it look like? A three
column layout: text left, pull quote, text right and the
text continues in full-width?
This would mark up the text surrounding the pull quote as
somehow different than the one preceding and following the
pull quote and thus confuse the reader.

As the argument of the location key is just passed to \placefigure
you can use any valid placefloat keyword.

And there are many ways to make it fancy: http://layersmagazine.com/indesign-paragraph-rules.html

I don’t think so because it’s common in magazines but TeX
isn’t the best tool for this.

It gives you more flexibility but my first goal was to get rid of
the \placepullquote command in the text. Another reason why i used
\defineannotation is that it creates i environment where you can
pass the argument to another command.
I could have written a shorter setup but i wanted the possibility
to change the position of the quote (e.g. “location=left”) and you
can also change the width and style of the text.

Hi list,
Back in March, Garulfo asked a question about pull quotes and offered
two links by way of example. One of the styles in those links interested
me in particular, namely
https://www.societal.fr/sites/societal/files/old_site/societal-46-6-boiteux-reperesettendances.pdf#page=2
I know how to make a pull quote in general terms, but Garulfo's question
was quite specific - was there a preferred way to set an intercolumn
pull quote, and presumably he also meant of the kind found in the link
above. I did not see any response to his question so perhaps he received
one off-list. I too would be interested to know how one might achieve
precisely the kind in the example, which features a 'bracketed' pull
quote. Has anyone attempted that?
