Example

\defineregister[nickname][nicknames]

\setupregister [nickname]
  [partnumber=no,alternative=A,criterium=all,n=3,balance=yes,pagestyle=normal]
\setupregister [nickname][foto][pagestyle=bold]

\starttext

Text about Mamut\nickname{Mamut}.
\placefigure[]
  {Kuba\nickname[foto::]{Kuba} on the photo.}
  {\externalfigure[kuba][width=0.2\textwidth]}

\page
And text about Kuba\nickname{Kuba}.

\completenickname
\stoptext 

yields


I found it safer to put \register command after punctuation e.g.: Mamut.\nickname{Mamut} [P.K.]
