Here is a new example where I can't even use \sometxt.
\setupcolors[state=start]
\def\labelstyle{bold}
\def\labelcolor{red}
\starttext
\resetMPdrawing
\startMPdrawing
label(textext("\doattributes{label}{style}{color}{Label}"),origin) ;
label(\sometxt{\doattributes{label}{style}{color}{Label}},origin) ;
\stopMPdrawing
\MPdrawingdonetrue
\getMPdrawing
\stoptext
