Thank-you all - the textcommand= was the necessary magic incantation. 

I will certainly use the linknote suggestion, not least because I'll still need regular footnotes as well.

And if I can pluck up courage to "move" the \setupnote Wiki page over to the new style (I don't know how to do an "undo" if it all goes wrong!) I will document the parameters discovered so far.

You might want to define a separate set of notes, for example,
linknotes, defined as Wolfgang suggests, so

You can define multiple streams of footnotes and endnotes.
Hi Bruce,

following the conversation, this might be a sample of what I think you
intend to achieve:

\definenote[linknote]
\setupnote[linknote]
    [textcommand={\ }, textstyle=, location=text]
\setupnotation[linknote]
    [alternative=serried, numberstyle={\switchtobodyfont[12pt]},
     style={\switchtobodyfont[12pt]}, numbercommand=]
\starttext

\dorecurse{25}
{First\footnote{Footnote one}.
 See my video at link\linknote{yewtu.be/my-great-video.}. }

\title{Links}
\placenotes[linknote]

\stoptext

I hope it may help,

Pablo
