I am trying to typeset two or more figures next to each other, inside a
floating environment, each with its own label. I am familiar with a mechanism
of the form
\startplacefigure[reference=pic]
\startcombination[3*1]
{figure 1}{a}
{figure 2}{b}
{figure 3}{c}
\stopcombination
\stopplacefigure
which then requires
\in{figure}{b}[pic]
to reference, as documented on the context wiki. The problem with this
mechanism is that if figure 2, say, is moved elsewhere and ts label becomes
"d", all references to it have to be corrected by hand. Is there a mechanism to
reference directly the figures inside, without having to depend on the outer
float? What I am thinking of, is an hypothetical "\placeinlinefigure" command,
so that one could write, in analogy with \placefigure,
\startplacefigure[number=no]
\startcombination[3*1]
{\placeinlinefigure[pic1]{figure 1}}{}
{\placeinlinefigure[pic2]{figure 2}}{}
{\placeinlinefigure[pic3]{figure 3}}{}
\stopcombination
\stopplacefigure
so that one could then use
\in[pic1]
Of course, there is then the issue of having the ability to use the same
counter of the placefigure environment, and of disabling the combination
caption. I could not find anything along these lines in the documentation; also
tried to concoct a "nonfloating" float or to use an enumeration, but was not
able to come up with a solution.
