Dear gang,

For, e.g., \setuphead[...][alternative=text], one often wants the stopper  
to appear in the main text sectioning but not in the references to those  
sections. For example (attached and below):

=======
\setuphead[chapter]   [alternative=normal]
\setuphead[subsection][alternative=text]
\setuphead[subsection][distance=0em,
                        textdistance=0.7em,
                        sectionstopper=.,
                        criterium=local]
\setupwhitespace[big]
\starttext

\startchapter[title={First},reference={}]
\startsubsection[title={},reference={reference1}]
\input ward

See \in{Sections}[reference3] and \in{Section}[reference4].
\stopsubsection
\startsubsection[title={},reference={reference2}]
\input ward
\stopsubsection
\stopchapter

\startchapter[title={Second}]
\startsubsection[title={},reference={reference3}]
\input ward
\stopsubsection
\startsubsection[title={},reference={reference4}]
\input ward

See \in{Sections}[reference1] and \in{Section}[reference2].
\stopsubsection
\stopchapter
\stoptext
=======

See Sections 2.1. and Section 2.2..
See Sections 1.1. and Section 1.2..

SHOULD BE

See Sections 2.1 and Section 2.2.
See Sections 1.1 and Section 1.2.

Is there a straightforward way to remove the stopper from the \in  
reference while maintaining it in the main sectioning but removing it in  
the referencing?

If there is no straightforward way, what is the best workaround?

As mentioned at the outset, this is not an uncommon scenario. If there is  
no straightforward way, would like to make it a feature request.

Thank you in advance for your help.
