Example
\defineregister[nickname][nicknames] \setupregister [nickname] [partnumber=no,alternative=A,criterium=all,n=3,balance=yes,pagestyle=normal] \setupregister [nickname][foto][pagestyle=bold] \starttext Text about Mamut\nickname{Mamut}. \placefigure[] {Kuba\nickname[foto::]{Kuba} on the photo.} {\externalfigure[kuba][width=0.2\textwidth]} \page And text about Kuba\nickname{Kuba}. \completenickname \stoptext
yields
I found it safer to put \register command after punctuation e.g.: Mamut.\nickname{Mamut} [P.K.]
