Okay, I have something that works. Perhaps not optimally, but it is 
functional.

    \definelabel[Qa]
    \definecounter[SAVE][numberconversion=R]
    \starttext
    This is labeled.\Qa\par
    This is labeled.\Qa[REF]\par
    \setcounter[SAVE][{\rawcountervalue[Qa]}]
    See \in[REF].\par
    See \ref[number][REF].\par
    See \in[REF].\par
    This is labeled.\Qa\par
    See \convertedcounter[SAVE].\par
    \stoptext

If you can improve it, please do. A solution that lets me use the label 
name (Qa here) and convert the associated number would be nice.
