Hi,

I like to achieve something that looks like this:
```
\definedelimitedtext[extract][blockquote]
\setupdelimitedtext
   [extract]
   [leftmargin=1.5pc,
    style={\italic},
    before={\setupindenting[next]},
    after={\blank[1ex] \hrule \blank[1ex] \startalignment[flushright] 
\tfx\italic{René Descartes} \stopalignment}]

\starttext
\startextract
     Cogito ergo sum.
\stopextract
\stoptext
```

So it should setup a quotation and mentions the author.
However, here the author is hardcoded within the blockquote. I would like it to 
use like this:
```
\definedelimitedtext[extract][blockquote]
\setupdelimitedtext
   [extract]
   [leftmargin=1.5pc,
    style={\italic},
    before={\setupindenting[next]},
    after={\blank[1ex] \hrule \blank[1ex] \startalignment[flushright] 
\tfx\italic{\getcustomvariable{author}} \stopalignment}]

\starttext
\startextract[author=René Descartes]
     Cogito ergo sum.
\stopextract
\stoptext
```

Is there an easy way to achieve that?
I tried with \structureuservariable (like possible in \startchapter) but it 
does not work.

not all constructs hav ethese user variables (yet)

i'll add an option for arguments tostart/stop so that you can do

\starttext

\definedelimitedtext
  [dextract]
  [blockquote]
  [leftmargin=1.5pc,
   style=italic,
   before=\setupindenting[next],
   after=\setups{extract:whatever}]

\definestartstop
  [extract]
  [arguments=yes,
   before=\setups{extract:start},
   after=\setups{extract:stop}]

\startsetups extract:start
    \startdextract
\stopsetups

\startsetups extract:stop
    \startstopparameter{author}
    \stopdextract
    \blank[1ex,samepage]
    \hrule
    \blank[1ex,samepage]
    \dontleavehmode
    \wordright{\itx\startstopparameter{author}}
\stopsetups

\starttext

\startextract[author=René Descartes]
    Cogito ergo sum.
\stopextract

\stoptext

but first i want Wolfgang to check the patch,
