Hello,
In LaTeX (don't remember whether this is generic or specific to one of the
packages I used to use), the 'caption' command for floats came along this
way:
\caption[optional short version]{Caption}
If one uses the 'optional short version' bit, the Table of Figures/Tables
present the short version rather than the whole caption (which in my case
is long paragraphs and makes the TOF/TOT unpractical). I would very much
like to have that functionality in context.
Thanks for any hints on how to achieve this. Poking around in the source did
not lead this newbie to a starting point ...

Perhaps \nomarking works in captions as well (have not checked).

we use [] for references, and once users want one alternative, they may
want another one as well, so best cook up a generic mechanism

The 'selector' feature sounds truly wonderfull! The code below doesn't
compile yet for me though ...
1) '\protect' needs to be called after '{\executeifdefined{\??sx#1\c!n
1}}', no?
2) Even after changing that I run into the following error when compiling
the example below:
! Missing { inserted.
<to be read again>
l.94
{\select{caption}{zapf}{\input zapf \relax}}
Thank you for your help!

Very nice feature!
What about
\select[caption]{zapf}{\input zapf \relax}
syntax instead? (You're the boss and the designer, but square brackets
seem more consistent with other ConTeXt commands; at least to me.)

this is indeed more natural to context, but i consider \select to be more like the \getvariable mechanism, and when used inside [] it saves outer braces:
\setupheadertexts[\select{caption}{zapf}{\input zapf \relax}]
