Indeed, I suppose you mean
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20090504.084528.4e8ad6f9.en.html

I did not need this solution, because

1.) my little helper-macro
   \def\gotoURL{\dosingleempty\dogotoURL}
   \def\dogotoURL[#1]#2{\iffirstargument\useURL[dummyRefUseURL][#2][][#1]\else
     \useURL[dummyRefUseURL][#2]\fi\from[dummyRefUseURL]}
   worked just fine

2.) \goto{...}[url(...)] does not break URLs

But now I see, that even \from[...] does not breaks URLs neither...

It seems, the only way to get hyphenated url is without interaction.

Here a general test-file with all possibilities to print URLs, that I'm
aware of:

\setupinteraction[state=start]
\useURL[myURL][http://url.com/index.html]
\starttext
\hsize1pt
% hyphen introduced in url, no special color/style:
\from[myURL]
% same as \from, but \tt style:
\url[myURL]
% hyphenated without hyphens but no color/style/interaction:
\hyphenatedurl{http://url.com/index.html}
% interaction and color, but not hyphenated:
\goto{http://url.com/index.html}[url(http://url.com/index.html)]
\stoptext

The best would be, to have a command that:
- makes interactive links like \from[]
- uses \tt style like \url[]
- breaks URLs like \hyphenatedurl{}
- uses color like \goto{}[]

Cheers, Peter
