Hi Joaquín,
Here is a small suggestion, which would have a few different uses. The
following link, which I copied from the index, should take you to the
definition of \vbox:
https://webs.um.es/jal/docs/introCTX_eng.pdf#%5B%7B%22num%22%3A117%2C%22gen%22%3A0%7D%2C%7B%22name%22%3A%22Fit%22%7D%5D
This works at least in some browsers, or by passing the stuff after #
as a suitable command-line argument to some PDF viewers.
So, it would be really nice to make those named destinations stable and
readable, for instance
https://webs.um.es/jal/docs/introCTX_eng.pdf#vbox
I suspect this is either a switch you turn on in ConTeXt, or something
that would still need to be implemented as a feature.
Best,
Augusto

I guess most ConTeXt users migrated from LaTeX at some point, so
that guide would really make sense. But I can’t write it either,
even if I’m also working with LaTeX (but just as a user of one
special class).
If I run into a problem in LaTeX that I know to solve in ConTeXt,
the approach is never right.
I think the similarities of LaTeX and ConTeXt are mostly misleading,
you’re better off trying to forget everything and start anew.
In LaTeX most problems are solved with “use this or that
package”, without the need to understand the commands and settings
involved, while in ConTeXt most problems are solved with
\setupsomething[somekey=somevalue].
Of course it helps to understand basic TeX stuff – but you’re
not supposed to use (plain) TeX commands in LaTeX, while it is or was
much more usual in ConTeXt.
Writing my book I have users of text processors (Word/LibreOffice)
and layout applications (InDesign etc.) in mind, even if I assume
that most readers (if I’ll ever publish it...) will come from LaTeX.

Yes, and that means: up to users migrating from LaTeX and
documenting their struggles.
