Hello Martin,
As already posted, modes are good for binary switches.
Often, I extract some values from the filename, that are used in the text,
here is a simple example:
\def\ResultName{\systemparameter{file}}
% only to show, that a special filename can trigger a mode:
\doif{\ResultName}{order}{\enablemode[ordermode]}{}
\starttext
This file is the \ResultName.
\startmode[ordermode]
special text for order
\stopmode
\stoptext
Then I call context with different resultnames:
"context --result=order filename" or
"context --result=invoice filename"

Symbolic links are a good idea, if you cannot submit options
like "--result=...".
Cheers, Peter
