I shoud probably have been more specific: While \startregister as such works
for me, it
1) isn't collapsed as expected together with ordinary single
register-entries (my main problem, cf mwe below)
2) is a bit cumbersome to use as it requires the user to keep track of
keys, as explained in your link from contextgarden.
Best,
Florian.
