May I chime in with a related question? Is there a dedicated ConTeXt way 
of having something similar in text mode? A column of content with a 
brace on its right (or left)? I have sometimes used something like this 
(which I think is from A Beginner's Book of TeX):

\starttext

\setbox1=\vbox{\hsize2cm Some \crlf vertical \crlf material }

\setbox2=\vbox{\hbox{X}}

\startformula
\left.\vcenter{\box1}\right\}\vcenter{\box2}
\stopformula

\stoptext

But I was wondering if there's a less hackish, more elegant way of doing 
this in ConTeXt.

All best
