Hi Joel,
I think the “left=…” key gives what you want. I found it at
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/_startitemgroup
\starttext
\defineitemgroup[numberunderlinelist]
\setupitemgroup[numberunderlinelist][symbol=n, left={\blackrule[width=2em,
height=0pt, depth=0.5pt]~}, stopper=., width=4em]
\startnumberunderlinelist
\dorecurse{100}{\startitem hello \stopitem}
\stopnumberunderlinelist
\stoptext
This gives me output that looks like your request.
