it's named Page Labels (never seen before, thanks for the pointer), in
the PDF Reference 5th ed. it's in section 8.3.1, the example 8.3 there
typed into \pdfcatalog{} works right away, so no luatex engine
modification needed.
IIRC, the hyperref package in LaTeX supports this. I do not know if there
is a direct ConTeXt support.
Not direct, but ConTeXt CAN do this:

Thank you for digging up the correct term! Now my search results also look
more promising :)

i think that i wrote code for it once (as with most new pdf features)
but if it ever made it into the core ... i usually discard such things
when viewers behave strange or unpredictable
indeed it does not need a modified engine (most pdf things don't need a
modification anyway)
maybe if i'm bored i'll have a look at it (or when real strong arguments

I tried the given example(s), but it seems that \pdfcatalog{} doesn't
currently work in MkIV (minimals, beta). The same example compiled fine in
MkII.
(I was trying the following code:
