If you are certain that the there will be no multi-line item (i.e. item text is
short enough that it fits in slightly less than half of textwidth) you can use
an enumeration, and put the contents inside a two-column layout:
%%% start example-1
\define[1]\aitemcmd{\inframed[width=1cm,align=flushright,frame=off]{(#1)}}
\defineenumeration
[aitem]
\setupenumeration
[aitem]
[text=,
alternative=empty,
headstyle=normal,
width=fit,
align=flushright,
closesymbol={\getnumber[aitem]},
closecommand=\aitemcmd]
\starttext
\startcolumns[distance=1cm]
\startitemize[n]
\dorecurse{5}{
\startaitem
whatever left
\stopaitem
}
\stopitemize
\startitemize[a][left=(,right=),stopper=,width=1cm]
\dorecurse{5}{
\startitem
whatever right
\stopitem
}
\stopitemize
\stopcolumns
\stoptext
%%% stop example-1
[You can tweak the alternative, align, closesymbol, closecommand to get exactly
what you want; the example above will give a somewhat symmetric layout]
More generally, if the text can multi-line, then I think TABLE (with proper
alignment options) might be better-suited:
%%% start example-2
\define\startItemize{
\bTABLE\setupTABLE[frame=on,align=lohi]
\setupTABLE[2][distance=1cm,align={flushright,lohi}]
\setupTABLE[2,3][width=0.05\textwidth]
\setupTABLE[1][align=flushright,width=0.4\textwidth]
\setupTABLE[4][align=flushleft,width=0.4\textwidth]
}
\define\stopItemize{\eTABLE}
\define[1]\metI{\bTR \bTD #1 \eTD \bTD (\character{\currentTABLErow}) \eTD}
\define[1]\Item{\bTD (\currentTABLErow) \eTD \bTD #1 \eTD \eTR}
\starttext
\startItemize
\dorecurse{5}{
\metI {whatever here on the left}
\Item {whatever here on the right}
}
\stopItemize
\stoptext
%%% stop example-2
Best,
