I suppose my real problem is not being sufficiently au fait with how definitions work. I just can't seem to get a definition that gives me a result like

D'oh! Sorry - completely forgot about the indent.
Best I can come up with at the moment is this - but I'm not sure how to get leading dots.
\starttext
\define[3]\SectionToCEntry{
#2\crlf
\leftaligned
\bgroup
\hskip 0.5cm
\structurelistuservariable{author}
\rightaligned
\bgroup
#3
\egroup
\egroup
}
\setuplist
[chapter]
[alternative=command,
command=\SectionToCEntry,
after=\endgraf]
\completecontent
\startchapter
[title={This is my chapter title}]
[author={Dummy Name}]
\input Tufte
\stopchapter
\stoptext
