Section 4.2 of Mojca's MyWay on sometxt
http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/sometxt.pdf provides another solution.

Dear All,

>>

And what about proper tables there?
Replacing One\\Two in the above code with
$ \startmathmatrix \NC 1 \NC 1 \NR \NC 1 \NC  1 \NR \stopmathmatrix $
or
\starttable{|cm|cm|} \NC 1 \NC 1 \NC \NR \NC 1 \NC 1 \NC \NR \stoptable
does not work for me.
It complains about "dotripletestemptyx",
but that seems to be some low level utility code and the error messages 
say nothing to me :(

All metapost environments expand their arguments, so anything looking for 
an optional argument fails. There are workarounds, though

\unexpanded\def\MYMATRIX%
   {$\startmathmatrix \NC 1 \NC 1 \NR \NC 1 \NC  1 \NR \stopmathmatrix$}

\starttext
\startMPcode
   label.rt(\sometxt{\MYMATRIX},   origin) ;
   label.rt(textext ("\MYMATRIX"), (5cm,0)) ;
\stopMPcode
\stoptext

And if you really want it to work, we need to make cetrain things 
unexpandable

\unprotect
\def\dodefinemathmatrix[#1]% [#2]%
   {\unexpanded\setvalue{\e!start#1}{\dodoubleempty\dostartmathmatrix[#1]}%
    \unexpanded\setvalue{\e!stop #1}{\dostopmathmatrix}%
    \setupmathmatrix[#1]}% [#2]

\definemathmatrix[matrix]
\definemathmatrix[\v!mathmatrix]

\unexpanded\def\dodomatrixNC
   {\gdef\domatrixNC{\endmath&}}

% To avoid errors in expansion
\let\NC\relax
\let\NR\relax

\protect

Now this works

\starttext
\startMPcode
   label.rt(\sometxt{$\startmathmatrix \NC 1 \NC 1 \NR \NC 1 \NC  1 \NR 
\stopmathmatrix$},   origin) ;
\stopMPcode

\stoptext


Hans, should we add this to strc-ali?

sure, i'll also do the same with getbuffer, as often using buffere is 
convenient in such cases:

\unexpanded\def\getbuffer
   {\dodoubleempty\dogetbuffer}

\starttext

\startbuffer[a]
     $\startmathmatrix \NC 1 \NC 1 \NR \NC 1 \NC  1 \NR \stopmathmatrix$
\stopbuffer

\startMPcode
     label.rt("\getbuffer[a]",origin) ;
\stopMPcode

\stoptext

Well, it's a bit more complicated: in mkii, sometxt was the easiest  
solution because it was flexible and allowed to include all sorts of  
ConTeXt code. In mkiv, textext can do about anything that sometxt can,  
and then some more, so in mkiv, sometxt was deprecated. But I think  
Mojca has nagged Hans into re-implementing sometxt into mkiv as well.  
Complicated, but there you go...

All best

Thomas

\defineframed[mplabel][frame=off,align=right,width=fit]

label.rt(textext("\mplabel{One\\Two}"),origin) ;
