Is there a method that does not require an external file or

there's a better - more integrated - way.
i guess that with some experimenting you can come close but the
external file that you use uses masks (actually we do support masks
in external figures) and multiple shades over something in the page
stream
For the old implementation (pre 2016-ish) I had a working solution
because shading to transparent colours just worked (at least in my
case of a simple transparent shade, nothing fancy), but not so any
longer. With the new implementation I couldn't get it working. But
we discussed that at some point in the past. I believe the gist of
it was “shade-to-transparent is gone”.
i'm not ssure what shade to transparency means ... shades can be
transparent currently .. so how did that old file (uncompressed pdf)
look like then
stuff i'd only look into when i have to (in principle one
can make all kind of fancy mechanisms but does it pay off ... seldom)
If there's no easy solution, it's alright. If have a workaround. No
need to waste time on exotic features (as long as masks in external
figures keep working). Still, if you happen to know a trick to pull
that off in ConTeXt, let me know.
