this one had to think a while to recognize the mkii selector mechanism
in mkiv we do
\starttext
\startplacefigure[location=here,reference=fig:reference,title={lots of
bla},list={less bla}]
\externalfigure [myfigure]
\stopplacefigure
\startchapter [title={Figure index}]
\placelistoffigures [criterium=all]
\stopchapter
\stoptext
but i saw that i don't pass the list entry ... will be in the next beta
