That may work with something like

```
\cite[loctext={{2},{2}}][{na2006,clark1989}]
```

or

```
\autocite[{{\loc[2]},{\loc[2]}}]{{na2006,clark1989}}
```

(I know that the ConTeXt \cite command supports multicites with
comma-separated entries, but I forget exactly what the expected syntax
looks like.)
