I'll try to give a clearer explanation. First of all, when I cite a source using e.g. \cite[Smith2000], this should appear in the text as "Smith 2000". I've already managed to do this. Now, each entry in the bibliography should begin with the same string that was used to identify it within the text. So, the above example should look something like this:
Smith 2000<tab>John Smith. Generic Book Title. Whatever Publishing Company, New York 2000.
I know I can get the "John Smith" by using \insertauthors in \setuppublicationlayout. But how do I get just the last name? The answer is probably so simple that I should be ashamed that I can't figure it out by myself but I haven't quite gotten the hang of ConTeXt and TeX yet...
Ah, so it turns out you're looking for something else altogether. In your case, you want a special kind of label for your bibliographic list. See if Aditya's hack gives the result you want. But generally speaking, I think your setup is pretty common in the humanities, so it should be added as a key to the processactionlist in l. 308-316 of bibl-tra.mkiv. Hans, Taco, is there a proper syntax for getting the lastname and year of the current bib item?
The best approach may be to put the lastname+space+year in the 's' key, and use \setuppublications[refcommand=short, numbering=short] Best wishes, Taco
