By meaning it is a minimum working example, it demonstrates the problem, but not in all situations I use. Basically at the start of a chapter or section, I have tons of metadata. This is information in \index{} (and some custom index like \dateis that generates a time line), information placed in registers, some information loaded from an entire passage sometimes \include passage.tex (though not displayed, cuz it contains indexes, registers, etc.), and its always leaving this gap after the section title. I've used \starteffect[hidden] as one attempt to hide it, but it only makes it basically invisible, but still present. How to make it invisible and take up no space? Or can I hide all that information inside some part of the section title?

you anyway have to put such a note reference inside the title otherwise
you create an insert node that for sure will mess up spacing

here's a trick .. i suppose that we can have a setting that supresses
notes completely

\setupnotes
  [location=none]

\setupnotations
  [state=stop]

\starttext

\chapter{test\footnote{here is footnote text}}

\input knuth

\input knuth

\stoptext
