The "context --help" shows the following option:
--arguments=list set variables that can be consulted during a run (key/value pairs)
It looks like something I need at the moment. There seems to be no further information on it, at least not be searching the wiki with "context arguments".
I have the two questions:
(1) how is the list given?
context arguments=key1=value1,key2=value2
or
context arguments="key1=value1,key2=value2"
or otherwise
(2) how are these values picked up inside the TeX-run for use in typesetting?

I recently looked that up on the list archive, so here's a link:

Thanks, but I am afraid I do not understand the mechanism well enough.
I did the follwoing call in the shell:
context --fontchoice="my font choice" test
And in the test.tex file:
variable mykey = <\getvariable{documents.arguments}{fontchoice}>\crlf
But that clearly didn't work.

<file name="test.tex">
\doifdocumentargument {bodyfont} {\setupbodyfont[\getdocumentargument{bodyfont}]}
\starttext
This document uses “\doifdocumentargumentelse{bodyfont}{\getdocumentargument{bodyfont}}{Latin Modern}” as bodyfont.
\stoptext
</file>
$ context --bodyfont=pagella test.tex

Thanks,
I was already trying to jump through the hoops of \ctxlua, but this is really simple and exactly what I needed. The offline calls to context/metapost figure production now can get all the information needed to synchronize with the main document.
