With \definedelimtedtext you can create your own quote and quotation command or environment.

You can set your own references in the text with \pagereference:

\starttext

This is the first topic.\pagereference[topic:1]

\page

This is another topic.\pagereference[topic:2]

\blank

This example contains two topic, the first topic is on \at{page}[topic:1] and the second on \at{page}[topic:2].

\stoptext
