In placing \externalfigure[file] I observe the figure is placed with
its bottom on the baseline, thus:

     [externalfigure]
--------------------------- baseline

I looked into the option list of setupexternalfigure but could not
find one whereby the location with respect to the baseline is either
top, bottom or center.

Maybe this is what you're looking for:

\useMPlibrary [dum]
\setuplayout  [grid=yes]
\showgrid

\starttext
   foo \externalfigure[][][location=high]   bar \blank [5*line]
   foo \externalfigure[][][location=middle] bar \blank [5*line]
   foo \externalfigure[][][location=low]    bar
\stoptext

This variant:

    \useMPlibrary [dum]

    \starttext

    foo \figuresymbol[] bar

    foo \figuresymbol[][height=1cm,depth=\strutdepth] bar

    foo \figuresymbol[][height=3ex,depth=2ex] bar

    \stoptext

gives the lines proepr dimensions.
