Hi Willi,
How about invoking the command \setups{Thumb-pictures} between a \start \stop
pair as in the following:
\showframe
\starttext
\startfrontmatter
\startchapter[title=Test A]
\samplefile{knuth}
\stopchapter
\stopfrontmatter
%\page[yes]
\start
\setups{Thumb-pictures}
\startbodymatter
\startchapter[title=Test B]
\samplefile{ward}
\stopchapter
\startchapter[title=Test C]
\samplefile{ward}
\stopchapter
\startchapter[title=Test D]
\samplefile{ward}
\stopchapter
\stopbodymatter
\stop
\startbackmatter
\dorecurse{5}{\startchapter[title=Test #1]
\samplefile{thuan}
\stopchapter}
\stopbackmatter
\stoptext
