Of course there is a special command that is undocumented since rather new
and under construction; given that you have the beta:
\def\FullWidth{\dimexpr(\textwidth+\marginwidth+\margindistance)}
\definefloat [MarginAndText] [MarginAndText] [figure]
\setupfloat [MarginAndText] [width=\FullWidth,location=inner]
\setupcaptions
[align={right,broad},
width=max]
\input tufte
\placeMarginAndText{}{}
\input tufte
.. gives a bit of insight.
