In the minimal working example below inside of a text two words should be printed inside of rounded TikZ rectangles and should be connected by an TikZ arrow pointing from the first word to the other.

TikZ offers the remember picture/overlay option for that.

The MWE works in MkII (command “texexec”) which I am not using, but not in the latest MkIV (command “context”).

The problem might be that according to the PGF/TikZ manual “You need to use a driver that supports picture remembering and you need to run TEX twice” (16.13.1 Referencing a Node in a Different Picture).

So my questions are:

1.) Does LuaTeX support TikZ picture remembering?

2.) If so, how can I get ConTeXt MkIV to “run TeX twice”?

3.) If all of the above worked, would that work also if the inline TikZ pictures to be remembered are on another file referenced via \input?

I have seen a solution similar to what I want to achieve in the METAFUN manual but I don’t have a clue how to get that METAPOST alternative working.
