Hello
I'm rather hors de combat with ConText at the moment but hope to get
back to it properly (so far I have only engaged with it improperly...).
Would plain TeX's \leftskip and \rightskip commands not work for you in
the chapter titles and introductory matter? If your margins are, say,
36 points wide, then surround the affected text with:
\begingroup
\leftskip -36pt \rightskip \leftskip
Chapter Title\vskip 15pt% or whatever drop you want
Chapter Introduction\par
\endgroup
(But I'm aware that some plain TeX commands and primitives just don't
work in ConText - something I'll have to get used to if/when I return to
the fray.)
in principle \leftskip etc work ok but better is to use \startnarrower
then because various mechanism might have diferent opinions about how
toi interact with these
