I was aware of this solution; however, I was looking for another way due to performance reason and to avoid having too many temporary (data) files.

It seems I found a more Lua way:

----
\usemodule[pgfplots]

\startluacode
   data = {{5, 15}, {20, 20}, {24, -24}}

   data2crds = function(data)
     local str

     for i, v in ipairs(data) do
       str = (str or "") .. "(" .. v[1] .. "," .. v[2] .. ")"
     end

print("Crds=", str)

     return str
   end

   --

   plot = function(data)
     context.starttikzpicture()
       context.startaxis{}
         context.addplot{mark="none",color="red"}
           context("coordinates {" .. data2crds(data) .. "};")
       context.stopaxis()
     context.stoptikzpicture()
   end
\stopluacode

\starttext
   \starttikzpicture
     \startaxis[]
       \addplot[mark=none,color=red] coordinates {(11, 5) (12, 18)};
     \stopaxis
   \stoptikzpicture

   \ctxlua{plot(data)}
\stoptext
----

Anyway, thanks.

Best regards,

Lukas
