\defineitemgroup[test]
\setupitemgroup[test][headstyle=slanted]
\setupitemgroup[test][2][packed]

% \setupitemgroup[test][each][packed]

\starttest
\head test \par test
\item test
       \starttest
       \item test
       \item test
       \stoptest
\item test
\stoptest

so, it's there already; in principle the following should work:

\setupitemgroup[test][levellist][keyvals]
\setupitemgroup[test][levellist][keys]
\setupitemgroup[test][levellist][keyvals][keys]

\setupitemgroup[test][keyvals]
\setupitemgroup[test][keys]
\setupitemgroup[test][keyvals][keys]
