Here’s my approach. Right/left stuff and placement is good, but I get always
the extra contents of the previous chapter, i.e. “Another Fancy Story” gets the
subtitle/quote from “My Fancy Story”, while “My Fancy Story” doesn’t show
anything.
Is that why you used buffers?
Since I only need two user settings (image name and quote), only one in the
example, I’d like to avoid a buffer for every chapter.
\startsetups FancyChapter
\setupheadertexts[][][][]
\doifnot{\structureuservariable{subtitle}}{}{
\doifoddpageelse
{\page[left]}
{\donothing}
{\definedfont[SerifItalic at 16pt]\structureuservariable{subtitle}\par}

I’ll try to adapt that before=\directsetup approach to my project.

There are also chapters without that intro, therefore I use
