Hi Gerion,

now I realize that my explanation was unnecesarily technical or not
focused on your needs.

My point was that if PDF as such doesn’t offer the capability, there is
no way to include it in ConTeXt (with PDF documents as output files).

I’m in a hurry, excuse my rash reply.

As far as I know (although I never used them), you can use \in with
references to other documents (I guess this is why you need the .tuc
file of the other document [to resolve the reference]).

In that case, you will have the reference number solved in your
document. As far as I know, there is no link for that.

Importing the document (with \externalfigure) has issues to preserve
internal links.

I hope it helps,

Pablo
