you can probably best use

\startsection[title={...},list={...},bookmark={...}]
...
\stopsection


I do not think that is an option for me.

The book is bilingual, with Arabic and English. There are places where I
want the chapter, section, and subsection titles to be bilingual as well,
with English on the left and Arabic on the right. I accomplish this using
the following…


\defineparagraphs[BilingualTitle][n=3,before={\blank[2*line]},after=,]

\setupparagraphs[BilingualTitle][1][width=.4\textwidth]

\setupparagraphs[BilingualTitle][2][width=.12\textwidth]

\setupparagraphs[BilingualTitle][3][width=.4\textwidth]


\define[2]\BilingualChapter

   {\expanded{\writetolist[chapter]{}{#1}}

   \startBilingualTitle


 \noindentation\setlatin{}\tfd\setupinterlinespace\feature[+][smallcaps]\word{#1}\feature[<]

   \nextBilingualTitle

   \hfill\nextBilingualTitle

   \noindentation\setarabic{}\tfd\setupinterlinespace{#2}

   \stopBilingualTitle

  }


…with variants for section, subsection, and subsection.
