I have finally been able to solve this problem with the following 
workflow: (1) Compile the document using Lua to genenate two text files: 
one that contains the lines and line breaks and another one that 
contains the corresponding margin notes. (2) Use Perl to add \margindata 
in the right places of the ConTeXt source code. (3) Compile the document 
again. It's hacky but it works. Anyways, guess it's been a very unusual 
requirement...
