You just showed below why this is useful, by first using the urls ...

ConTeXt is just doing the reverse: first define the urls and then use
them :)
I support having commands which typeset the urls directly, but the macros on the
wiki are not the best ones.

Why not simply:
\def\href#1#2{\goto{#2}[url(#1)]}
Or did I miss something?

These could be easily wrapped around using \useURL and \url (perhaps by adding
left and right keys to \setupurl) but \url does not create a hyperlink:
