I worked out a solution - not quite what you are suggesting, but it works perfectly, and I can get ahead with the dictionary.

1st, I defined a paragraph based on subsubject. This enabled me to do away with the description I was using earlier and greatly simplifies each dictionary entry:

\definehead[entry][subsubject]
\setuphead [entry]
           [
             number=no,
             textdistance=3pt,
             alternative=text,
             align=raggedright,
             style=\bf,
             before={\vskip 0.5\lineheight}
          ]

2nd, note the before={\vskip 0.5\lineheight}. A bit of a hack one has to admit, but it solves the problem of reducing the gap between each entry.

All good.

Assuming that the default space before and after a head (e.g. subsubject) is something like \blank[2*big], if there is a way I can change that default behaviour just for that particular head, then I can solve my problem. Is there such a possibility?
\definehead[mysubject][subject]

and then set up mysubject differently

\startmysubject[title={....}]  etc
