I don't know how you want it to look, exactly, but ending the
paragraph helps with the numbering. There is also a start/stop version
that suggests a bit more structure.
\definedescription
[latexdesc]
[headstyle=bold,
style=normal,
align=flushleft,
alternative=hanging,
width=broad,
margin=1cm]
\starttext
\latexdesc{1540} some event happened
\latexdesc{1541} some other event happened
\latexdesc{1542} some event happened quite different
\startlatexdesc
[title={1540}]
some event happened
\stoplatexdesc
\startlatexdesc
[title={1541}]
some other event happened
\stoplatexdesc
\startlatexdesc
[title={1542}]
some event happened quite different
\stoplatexdesc
\stoptext
