Here’s a bit of a hack for the chapter splitting and might also enable the
epigraphs for you as well (not quite sure what these should look like from your
description.)
\definenote[mynote]
\setupnote[mynote][location=text]
\setupnotation[mynote][]
\definenote[chapone][mynote]
\definenote[chaptwo][mynote]
\definenote[chapthree][mynote] % etc
\starttext
\startchapter[title={AAA}]
\def\note#1{\chapone{#1}}
\dorecurse{15}
{ See my note at \note{something important}. }
\stopchapter
\startchapter[title={BBB}]
\def\note#1{\chaptwo{#1}}
\dorecurse{5}
{ See my note at \note{something important}. }
\stopchapter
\title{Endnotes}
Chapter 1 notes
\placenotes[chapone]
\blank[2*line]
Chapter 2 notes
\placenotes[chaptwo]
\stoptext
