Perfect! Thank you.
It looks like \currentreference number is initially empty, and when
\doifelsereferencefound succeeds it is set to that value, and remains
set to that value until another \doifelsereferencefound is encountered.
If \doifelsereferencefound fails, \currentreference is again empty. Is
that correct?
yes, btw, there are some more \currentreference* available

(A year later) Is there still no way to do this without resorting to the
.tuc-file gimmick?
The need is to take a label reference number and display it under a
different numberconversion regime.

the conmversion is (partly) done in lua so at some point the

gets scanned which is more robust in lmtx than in mkiv
normally one does the conversion differently:
\definelabel[XX][numberconversion=R]

\startTEXpage[offset=2em]

(Resending because attachment was too large.)
That generates a new labeled item albeit with a roman numeral label. I
am trying to get the value of a previously generated numeric label
converted roman numerals. So, consider that I have a numeric label
identifying a paragraph of text. I want to reference that label in
another place but need to do it in Latin.
I want to convert the original label number to a roman numeral for use
in that one place, not generate a new label displayed as a roman
numeral. So,
\definelabel[XX][text=¶]
\define\Naa{\ref[number][aa]}
\define[1]\Nnn{\ref[number][#1]}
\define\Raa{\convertnumber{R}{\ref[number][aa]}}
\define[1]\Rnn{\convertnumber{R}{\ref[number][#1]}}
\startTEXpage[offset=2em]
Paragraph\XX[aa]\par
Paragraph\XX[bb]\par
Paragraph\XX[cc]\par
1: \Naa\par
2: \Nnn{bb}\par
% these fail without an existing tuc file:
I: {\la Vide paragraphum \Raa.}\par
II: {\la Vide paragraphum \Rnn{bb}.}
\stopTEXpage
should produce:
Paragraph *¶ 1
*Paragraph *¶ 2*
Paragraph *¶ 3*
1: 1
2: 2
I: Vide paragraphum I.
II: Vide paragraphum II.
but this fails without an existing good tuc file. If I comment out the
two latin lines, compile (to failure), and then uncomment the lines and
try again, it compiles without error. Does this mean that
\ref[number][label] does not really return a number as \convertnumber
expects?
This is the case with today's upload as well (ConTeXt ver: 2021.10.28
10:19 LMTX).
