I make a statement on a part of the Arthur's reply (" there are no real-life examples of documents that use it") : in fact, there are rare examples of such printing materials : scholar editing and printing of Ancient texts are mainly (if I am right) such printing material (including Ancient Armenian or Georgian liturgic hymns).
That’s not what I meant. There is an experimental mechanism in ConTeXt called streams that could be part of the solution to your problem, but there are no publicly available documents that make use of it. The commands for creating and managing streams are in the file page-str.mkiv; there are short examples at the end. I mention this because this is typically the kind of issue that need serious input from users in order to become a meaningful feature. Best, Arthur
