I want to use `numberstopper' for figure caption customization like so:

\setupcaptions[numberstopper={:}]

this works fine for the caption itself (i.e. I get, e.g. "Figure 1:
caption text") _but_
references to the figure via a defined label such as [fig:example]
in the body text do include the numberstopper, too, which is highly
undesirable in my view, since, e.g.,

"... see Figure 1: for an example. ..."

should rather read

"... see Figure 1 for an example. ..."

i.e. the numberstopper should be omitted (at least optionally) when
referencing.

question: how can this be achieved?

Can you make a example because I can’t reproduce the problem you describe.

I have done that right now (problem definitely there) but then looked at the difference between my syntax
and yours. I used something like

\setupexternalfigures [directory={.}]
\setupcaption[width=.95\textwidth, location=bottom, numberstopper={:}]

\starttext
An illustration of this process is given in Fig.~\in[fig:convosim].
....
\stoptext

changing the referencing to

An illustration of this process is given in Fig.~\at[fig:convosim].

i.e. replacing `\in' by `\at' resolves the issue. I'm rather new to context and was under the impression that `\in' is the
context equivalent of latex's \ref and was not aware of \at at all.
but this seems only partly true. can you give me a pointer where best to look up the
differences between `\in' and `\at'?

so it seems I need to use \at for referencing figures, at least when numberstopper is not empty? ok, so be it ....
