Thanks a lot that works.

I've a follow up question. I'd like to wrap the `\setgvariable` in a a
paragraph like thing. I found out about annotations, which look like
what I've after.

Though sadly I get an error message (! Undefined control sequence) when
I use annotations. It works when I hard-code a value within the
annotation, but it doesn't if I use the contents of the annotation. I've
also tried it the `\placeannotationcontent` way, but there I get the
same error. Here's the full example:

\starttext

\definelayer [pagenumber][width=\overlaywidth,height=\overlayheight]
\defineoverlay[pagenumber][{\directsetup{pagenumber}\tightlayer[pagenumber]}]

\startsetups pagenumber
\setlayerframed
[pagenumber]
[preset=rightbottom]
{\getvariable{table}{p}}
\stopsetups

\define[2]\PageWrapper{\setgvariable{table}{p}{#2}}

\usemodule[annotation]
\defineannotation
[pn]
[alternative=command, command=\PageWrapper]
Use this defintion for your \startpn … \stoppn command:

\define\startpn
   {\grabuntil{stoppn}{\setgvariable{table}{p}}}


Thanks for you help. Sadly I can't get it working, even if I hard-code
the value of \setgvariable as e.g. \setgvariable{table}{p}{q}.

I start to wonder if my whole approach is flawed and if there's a better
way to display something absolutely positioned in (the corner of) a
table cell that gets defined in the normal flow (just like another
paragraph within the cell).

Any pointers are welcome, I'm happy to dig deeper myself.

test \wordright{p}
