query re placing a float

query re placing a float

I have a paragraph of text and I would like to place a float to the left so
that there a some lines above the float, some beside, and some below. Is
there a way to do this?

What I have so far breaks the paragraph in two: one before the float and
one beside it (with a few lines below). If I invoke the float before the
paragraph, there are no lines above the float.

\starttext
Quisque facilisis erat a dui. Nam malesuada ornare dolor. Cras gravida,
diam sit amet rhoncus ornare, erat elit consectetuer erat, id egestas pede
nibh eget odio. Proin tincidunt, velit vel porta elementum, magna diam
molestie sapien, non aliquet massa pede eu diam. Aliquam iaculis. Fusce et
ipsum et nulla tristique facilisis. Donec eget sem sit amet ligula viverra
gravida.%
\startplacefigure[title={A cow},
location={here,left},
align=middle,
number=yes]
{\externalfigure[cow.pdf][width=.45\textwidth]}
\stopplacefigure
Fusce ultrices, neque id dignissim ultrices, tellus mauris dictum elit, vel
lacinia enim metus eu nunc. Quisque facilisis erat a dui. Nam malesuada
ornare dolor. Cras gravida, diam sit amet rhoncus ornare, erat elit
consectetuer erat, id egestas pede nibh eget odio. Proin tincidunt, velit
vel porta elementum, magna diam molestie sapien, non aliquet massa pede eu
diam. Aliquam iaculis. Fusce et ipsum et nulla tristique facilisis. Donec
eget sem sit amet ligula viverra gravida. Etiam vehicula urna vel turpis.
Suspendisse sagittis ante a urna. Morbi a est quis orci consequat rutrum.

Found the answer—

location={here,left,3*hang}

does what I want nicely.

Sorry for the noise.
