Section/head with separate numbering and references

Section/head with separate numbering and references

Hello,

I'm working on a document with both chapter/section numbering, and a 'topic' whose numbers are sequential across the entire document.  I found a solution to enable this from a 2003 thread in the archives ("Creating list with separate numbering", 15 April 2003), but I can't seem to get references to work.  I've looked through the archives, read The TeXbook, and browsed the ConTeXt source but can't quite figure out how to make this work.

I'm using 
ConTeXt  ver: 2011.05.18 18:04 MKII  fmt: 2011.7.3  int: english/english

Example below:
-----------------------------------
% "topic" numbering
\definehead
[Topic]
[subsection]
\setuphead
[Topic]
[ownnumber=yes,number=yes,numberstyle=normal,numbercolor=darkgray,textstyle=\it,alternative=inmargin,header=empty,inbetween=,after=]
% use a label text
\setuplabeltext[Topic=\S]
% increment and feed
\newcounter\TopicNumber
\def\topic[#1]#2
{\doglobal\increment\TopicNumber
\Topic{\TopicNumber}{#2}}



\starttext

\section{Tufte}
\input tufte

\topic[topic:SomeTopic]{Some topic.}  Here we will discuss a particular topic.

\topic[topic:AnotherTopic]{Another topic.}  Let's expand on the previous topic.

\topic[topic:AGreatTopic]{A great topic.}  I can go on like this all day.



\section{Another Tufte}
\input tufte

\topic[topic:SomeOtherTopic]{Some other topic.} Recall in \in{\S}[topic:AnotherTopic] that we extended blah blah from \in{\S}[topic:SomeTopic] and noted that...

Thanks,
Jason
