Still nicer would be the following, but I do not know whether this is
technically possible –
I have the following text:
% start of example: in chapter 4, pp. 38, I have
\subject [wild-stuff]{Wild stuff}
Now comes a lot of weird stuff which I want to refer to later.
…
% end of stuff in one chapter
% in another chapter:
As we already saw in \in{chapter}[wild-stuff], on p.~\at[wild-stuff]
% that was in the other chapter
% end of example
and the result would be: “As we already saw in chapter 4, on p.~38”…
Can such a thing be done?
Can’t you just add a reference to the chapter title and refer to it
instead of the the subject.
When you goal is to show the value of the chapter for the current
subject you should switch to MkIV where this can be done (although we
have to cheat to because we have to create numbered subject’s and hide
the counter).

Hmm… although I got your example to work after some tweaking (changing \samplefile to {input and
placing knuth.tex and zapf.tex in the same folder as the test file), I could not reproduce this
with my book. I want to get "chapter 4" but keep getting "chapter 4.0".
You have to create a minimal working example for this because I can’t
tell why you get this output.
Is this because I am using MkII with XeTeX?
Is there a reason why you stick with MkII or XeTeX.

Use \about[sec:knuth], if you need the title.

Dear wizards of ConTeXt,
In the final stage of completing a book project, I was wondering how to
automatize cross references to chapters. I’ve already figured out how to refer
to pages (using “\at[REFERENCE]”), but how is this done with chapters? I’m
apparently too simple-minded to understand the manual (and I don’t understand
the differences between \reference, \textreference, \in, \about).
When you use \chapter:
\starttext
\chapter[sec:knuth]{Knuth}
\samplefile{knuth}
See \in{chapter}[sec:zapf] at \at{page}[sec:zapf].
\chapter[sec:zapf]{Zapf}
\samplefile{zapf}
See \in{chapter}[sec:knuth] at \at{page}[sec:knuth].
\stoptext
When you use \startchapter:
\starttext
\startchapter[title={Knuth},reference={sec:knuth}]
\samplefile{knuth}
See \in{chapter}[sec:zapf] at \at{page}[sec:zapf].
\stopchapter
\startchapter[title={Zapf},reference={sec:zapf}]
\samplefile{zapf}
See \in{chapter}[sec:knuth] at \at{page}[sec:knuth].
