Do you mean a sidebar with a note in it? Some time ago I asked a
similar question and got various answers. For a partially
embedded sidebar Hans suggested something along this line:
------------------------------------------------------
\setupoutput[pdftex]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\frenchspacing
\tolerance = 1000
\setuplayout[width=4in]
\setupfloat
[intermezzo]
[
leftmargindistance=-.8in,
rightmargindistance=-.8in,
default={outer,high}]
\setupcaption[intermezzo][location=none]
\defineframedtext
[myohmy]
[width=6cm,bodyfont=small,
frame=off,
backgroundcorner=round,
backgroundradius=6pt,background=screen,backgroundscreen=.8]
%\showframe
\setupmarginblocks[
style=small,
width=5cm,
before=\startmyohmy,
after={\relax,\stopmyohmy},
align=middle,
]
\long\def\sidebar#1{\placeintermezzo{}{\startmyohmy #1 \relax\stopmyohmy}}
\starttext
\input ward
\placeintermezzo{}{\startmyohmy\input dawkins \relax\stopmyohmy}
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth \par}
\page[yes]
\input ward
\placeintermezzo{}{\input dawkins\relax}
\page[yes]
\input ward
FOO
\sidebar{%
\input dawkins
Additional text.
}
\dorecurse{3}{\input knuth \par}
\stoptext
-----------------------------------------------------
This delivers a longish sidebar, partially embedded in the text
block, with a gray screen background.
