Is the following possible in ConText?

I want to define a table like this:

1: Hans
2: Wolfgang
3: Aditja
4: Marco
...

in which I can look up by a function, which allows the following command:

\name{number}. E.g. "This is \name{3}" should compile to "This is Aditja".

For my purpose, the table would have 114 entries.

Thanks for help.
Huseyin

\startluacode

document.SomeNames = {
     "Hans",
     "Wolfgang",
     "Aditja",
     "Marco",
}

\stopluacode

\def\SomeName#1{\cldcontext{document.SomeNames[\number#1]}}

\starttext

\SomeName{1}

\stoptext
