Initial Comment:

See the excerpt from a discussion with Oliver Buerschaper, below. That one uses 
a \cite command, but it could also be a footnote, or an Author's name or a 
wikipedia entry.  

\setupquotation[right={''\footnote{First}}]

is not usable because it gets fed into \symbol[] and many things do
not work well in that case (the \footnote, for example, disappears).

Works like a charm! Thanks very much for the workaround ... I've  
adapted it slightly so that the optional argument is treated as  
generic text ... in order to use \cite[], \footnote{\cite[]} or  
whatever else I need.

Could this optional argument perhaps be integrated directly in the  
usual \startquotation command some day? I guess a lot of people will  
need this ... every quotation calls for a proper reference  ;-) 

Cheers,
Oliver
