Thanks a lot for that. I'd adjust the interface, so that it matches
the behaviour of \in:

\def\inrange
  {\dodoublegroupempty\doinrange}

\def\doinrange#left#right#dummy[#label]
  {\iffirstargument
     {#left }%%
   \fi
   \ctxlua{userdata.inwithranges("#label")}%%
   \ifsecondargument
     {#right}%%
   \fi}

Then you can write:

See \inrange{figures}     [fig:a,fig:c,fig:d,fig:e,fig:g,fig:x,fig:h]
See \inrange{figures}{TT} [fig:a,fig:c,fig:d,fig:e,fig:g,fig:x,fig:h]
See \inrange              [fig:a,fig:c,fig:d,fig:e,fig:g,fig:x,fig:h]

Maybe worth mentioning: You need the additional module
`showtable.lua` from http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.tex.context/78336
