Many thanks for your reply, Wolfgang.

If you allow me one more question: is showing the numbers on the same
page they refer to beyond the limits of TeX/LuaTeX?

Absolutely no. As Hans said, a quick/dirty trick is possible: just mark the object
with \pagereference[<unique id>]. The data is stored into the *tuc file, which can be read
from  the second pass.
Then always run with
$>context --purgeall ; context <yourfile>.mkiv
Of course, "it's possible " doesn't mean "it's the right context way".
