Do you mean: 
http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20060115.080349.8efe83be.en.html

This works with MkII but not MkIV.

For example,
\usemodule[simpleslides][style=BigNumber]

\defineoverlay
   [test]
   [{\framed[align={middle,middle},
             width=\overlaywidth,
             height=\overlayheight]{TEST}}]

\starttext
\SlideTitle {ABC} \input tufte \page
\SlideTitle {ABC} 
\expandparameters\setupbackgrounds[page][background={\currentvalue,test}]
\input tufte
\stoptext
