Is there any way to get \definedescription & \setupdescriptions to not only produce the inline description, but also an entry in a sorted glossary? Perhaps with before= & after= to add the commands for the glossary?

Other than needing to resolve some "normal" formatting issues, I've found a solution....
\setuppapersize[letter]
\setupexternalfigures[location=default]
\setupwhitespace[medium]
\definedescription[conceptdesc][alternative=serried,headstyle=bold,width=broad]
\definesynonyms[conceptsyn][concepts][\expandconcept]
\setupsynonyms[conceptsyn][width=4cm, criterium=all]
\def\concept#1#2%
{
\conceptsyn{#1}{#2}
\index{#1}
\conceptdesc{#1}#2\par
}
\starttext
\chapter{The Great Text}
\input lorem.tex
\concept{Catatonic Choochoo}{
