Here is how to get the metafun alternative working.
1. I don't understand why I need to manually input the mp-abck file; that
should be input automatically.
2. The metafun alternative is a bit inconvenient. Suppose you want to draw
a bunch of such graphics (words connected by arrows). Then, you will need
to ensure that node names are unique. (Is there a way to get around that?)
3. I did not bother to set the style of the boxes and arrows. So it looks
a bit dry.
\startMPdefinitions
% I don't know why this does not get loaded automatically.
input mp-abck.mpiv;
\stopMPdefinitions
\defineoverlay[highlight] [\positionoverlay{highlightoverlay}]
\startpositionoverlay{highlightoverlay}
\setMPpositiongraphic{n1}{highlightgraphic}{from=n1,to=n2}
\stoppositionoverlay
\startMPpositiongraphic{highlightgraphic}
save n; path n[];
initialize_box(\MPpos{\MPvar{from}}); n[1] := pxy;
initialize_box(\MPpos{\MPvar{to}}); n[2] := pxy;
draw n[1];
draw n[2];
drawarrow (center n[1]){dir 45} .. {dir -45}(center n[2])
cutbefore n[1]
cutafter n[2];
anchor_box(\MPanchor{\MPvar{from}});
\stopMPpositiongraphic
\setuppapersize[A6]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=highlight]
\starttext
\hpos{n1}{this} belongs to \hpos{n2}{that}
\stoptext
