All of the mechanisms are added at different times in the process to make from
text a page.
Margindata (\inmargin etc.) is added to the line where you have it in your
and doesn’t move from this position but you prevent overlapping of two
different texts in the line with “stack=yes”.
Marginblocks are added after ConTeXt has finished the entire page.
As you can see in the example below it’s possible to have text
at different levels on the same position.
\setupmarginblock[color=green]
\setupnote [footnote][location=none]
\setupnotation[footnote][color=blue]
\setuptexttexts
[margin]
[]
[{\framed[frame=off,height=\textheight,width=broad,offset=none,align=high]{\placenotes[footnote][before=]}}]
\starttext
\inright[color=red]{Paragraph 1}
\input knuth\footnote{Footnote 1}
\startmarginblock
\input ward
\stopmarginblock
\inright[color=red]{Paragraph 2}
\input knuth
\stoptext
