Ah, I never know where to expand (tried \expanded\ctxlua).

Now,

\def\TOrt#1{\expanded{\Ort{\ctxlua{userdata.Lookup("#1")}}}#1} % Loc + Text
\defineprocessor[kursiv][style=italicface]
\def\TFOrt#1{\expanded{\Ort[kursiv->]{\ctxlua{userdata.Lookup("#1")}}}#1} % Loc 
in Footnote + Text

works. :)

(I always define \TIndex to avoid doubling, e.g. Hamburg\index{Hamburg}.)

I don’t understand.

\Ort[kursiv->]{Hamburg} works.

That’s nice, but since I use different registers, I’d need to define that 
function for each. Since I also use several shortcuts (e.g. \TOrt, \TFOrt, 
\TPerson, \TFPerson) I would multiply the effort on the Lua side.
I find my TeX definitions (like above) shorter, where I can use the same Lua 
function for each.
With your code I could at least shorten it to:

function userdata.Lookup(name)
   context(userdata.Lookups[name] or name)
end

> %%%% begin tex example

Oh, this is also nice. But isn’t the Lua version faster? (I have >600 person 
entries and a few hundred locations).

Thank you!
