Use cases for inbetween where it has to be at the end:

\definestartstop
   [Knuth]
   [style=bold,
    right=:,
    inbetween={\blank[medium]}]

\definestartstop
   [Zelensky]
   [style=bold,
    right=:,
    inbetween={\hspace[medium]}]

\starttext

\Knuth{Knuth}\samplefile{knuth-gpt}

\blank[2*line]

\Zelensky{Zelensky}\samplefile{zelensky}

\stoptext
