I have already asked this question on Stackexchange. It appears that no one who 
has seen the question knows an answer. I figure I'll ask here too, just to 
cover all bases.

I need to link to some online resources in my PDF file. Based on the official 
documentation, I have written:

> \useURL[dbdk] [http://dbpedia.org/page/The_Dark_Knight_(film)] [] [it's link 
> to DBPedia]
> 
> Lorem ipsum \goto{the LinkedMDB.org entry on The Dark 
> Knight}[url(http://data.linkedmdb.org/page/film/6224)], and \from[dbdk] dolor 
> sit amet.

Note my code for the link to DBpedia: I had to write it in this convoluted way, 
instead of using my preferred \goto, because the link has the special 
characters, `(` and `)`. These characters interfered with `url()`. I can't use 
HTML's URL encoding scheme because the `%`s interfere with TeX. Is there 
another escape code format in ConTeXt for use within `\goto{...}[url(...)]`?

Using the suggestion by @phg, I tried the following:

> \startasciimode
> Lorem ipsum \goto{the LinkedMDB.org entry on The Dark 
> Knight}[url(http://data.linkedmdb.org/page/film/6224)], and \goto{it's link 
> to DBPedia}[url(http://dbpedia.org/page/The_Dark_Knight_%28film%29)] dolor 
> sit amet.
> \stopasciimode
I still had to use escape codes, `%28` and `%29`, to keep it from interfering 
with url(). It turns out that DBpedia does not like these codes, and requires 
the actual characters. Is there another way I put them in 
`\goto{...}[url(...)]`?

Thanks!
Prash
