How to place figures & captions to some non-standard places?

How to place figures & captions to some non-standard places?

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hello,

Is it possible to do the following with ConTeXt?

1. Figure is \textwidth wide, the caption is placed in the margin
right or left to the figure (depending on left/right page)

2. Figure is less than \textwidth wide, it's placed on the inner side
of "text", caption is on the outer side (top/middle or bottom-aligned,
depending on user specification)

3. Figure is wider than textwidth, it's centered on "text+margin",
caption below the figure (taking the same width as the figure itself)

4. figure and caption are both in the margin (outer or inner side of
margin, depending on user request), caption takes all the available
width of the margin

5. almost the same feature as \startfiguretext, except that the figure
extends to the outer part of the margin, while texts floats around the
figure (still only max. \texwidth wide).

(It does not need to be automatic, just that it could be specified for
a single figure where to place it and where to place the caption.)

most of that is doable, see details.pdf 

comes down to cloning floats and setting up captions
