Hi Ángel,
there might be a way to get it, as long as you don’t define height
directly, such as in:
\starttext
\showframe
\startbuffer
row\currentxtablerow--col\currentxtablecolumn
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer[table]
\startxtable[option={stretch, height}, align={lohi, middle}]
\startxrow
\dorecurse{5}
{\startxcell[width=.115\textwidth]\inlinebuffer\stopxcell}
\startxcell\inlinebuffer\stopxcell
\stopxrow
\startxrow
\dorecurse{5}
{\startxcell\inlinebuffer\stopxcell}
\startxcell[offset=1em]\input zapf\stopxcell
\stopxrow
\dorecurse{5}
{\startxrow
\dorecurse{6}
{\startxcell\inlinebuffer\stopxcell}
\stopxrow}
\stopxtable
\stopbuffer
\getbuffer[table]
\page
\setuppapersize[A3, landscape]
\getbuffer[table]
\stoptext
Again, just in case it helps,
Pablo

Hi Ángel,
I’m not sure whether I’m totally missing your point, but I think this is
a way that might achieve what you want:
\starttext
\showframe
\startbuffer
row\currentxtablerow--col\currentxtablecolumn
\stopbuffer
\startbuffer[table]
\startxtable[option={stretch, height}, align={lohi, middle}]
\startxrow
\startxcell[width=3cm, option=fixed]\inlinebuffer\stopxcell
\dorecurse{5}
{\startxcell\inlinebuffer\stopxcell}
\stopxrow
\startxrow
\startxcell[height=3cm, option=fixed]\inlinebuffer\stopxcell
\dorecurse{5}
{\startxcell\inlinebuffer\stopxcell}
\stopxrow
\dorecurse{5}
{\startxrow
\dorecurse{6}
{\startxcell\inlinebuffer\stopxcell}
\stopxrow}
\stopxtable
\stopbuffer
\getbuffer[table]
\page
\setuppapersize[A3, landscape]
\getbuffer[table]
\stoptext
Just in case it helps,
Pablo
