Hello again,
in the MWE below I’d like to limit the run width of the item text so that the (page) number is standing out, e.g.
• This is a long and winding text
that leads to a number .......... 99
The text can become one or several lines long.
I tried to put the text in boxes, e.g. \simplealignedbox{}{}{\vbox{...}} but I got only ugly spacing.
Also, the last line of the text continues in that leaders and number.

\input knuth

No idea? Anyone?
Would it work to force an overfull hbox somehow in every last line?

Thank you very much!
I can even put \start/stopnarrower in before/after of \setupitemgroup.
Its width parameter doesn’t work (at least not together with inmargin).
But in your solution the dots (leaders) also stop with the text, and
I’d like them to continue up to the number.
I tried:
\def\MyFill#1{\leaders\hbox to 1em{\hss. }\hfill
\rlap{\hbox to \rightskip{\leaders\hbox to 1em{. \hss}\hfill#1}}}
But that’s ugly and gives an irregular gap between the two sets.
I don’t understand this low level TeX enough...
