Yes this is not bullet proofed but I need it for internal usage. I think
we'll have many okular users.

In the beginning, you could even start programs with program(...), but Adobe
recognized soon this might be a security problem.
Nowadays, the “best” behaviour is when the viewer asks you if you really want
to open such a link but then hands control to the OS.
Last time I checked, Adobe Reader even let you open hidden files from arbitrary
paths.
Several other viewers just do nothing.
Best, Hraban

Ok, with \goto{linkname}[program(target.doc)] it works.
"works" means some PDF Viewers opens the right program.

What do you mean "work" and "not work"?
Do you what to open a file by clicking on text in viewer? What application
should be used to open a file? Take a look on page I linked in previous
message.
> The PDF Viewer does not support the file type.
What "PDF Viewer"?
For example, I use different viewers: mupdf, zathura-pdf-mupdf (zathura with
mupdf pdf backend), okular, pdf-tools (emacs major mode). Some of application
(okular, for example) could preview many file types (ps, pdf, odt), while
other can't do that. It is up to application what to do (or actually, PDF
backend) on link.
Please see the page about '\goto' command, it was written for a reason!

This works:
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\goto{linkname}[file(target.pdf)]
\stoptext
This does not work:
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
\goto{linkname}[file(target.doc)]
\stoptext
The PDF Viewer does not support the file type.
