Hi, Hans—

The new beta now processes without interruption but does not actually collect and display the reference.

All I get right now is:

page   note

rather than 

page 1 note 1

The setup (revised)—


%testA.tex

\starttext


text text.\reference[firstpage]{}


text text.\footnote[fnote]{A note.}


\stoptext


%LinkTest.tex

\setupinteraction[state=start]


\useexternaldocument[testA.tex]

\usereferences[testA.tex]


\starttext


\at{page}[testA::firstpage]


\in{note}[testA::fnote]


\stoptext



Alan

I am exploring the feasibility of presenting two interacting PDF files
side by side. Thus far my experiments with \usereferences have managed
only to produce  a lua error:

fixed in next beta (there can be more issues for a while as i'm cleanign up that code)

btw, no .tex in:

\at{page}[testA::firstpage]
