If you search options of e.g. <ttcmd>\placeexternalfigure</ttcmd> you must look after <ttcmd>\placefloat</ttcmd> in the manual! (same for <tt>\setup...</tt> etc.) The float types "graphic", "figure", "table" and "intermezzo" are readily defined. If you need more (i.e. if you need another numbering or table of something), you can easily define your own floats with <cmd>definefloat</cmd>.

\placefloat[place][reference]{caption}{some float}
