I am having some difficulties in managing the bibliography in ConTeXt. I would like to print a bibliography along the lines of the one provided by the package achemso in LaTeX.
To the best of my knowledge, ConTeXt is unable to handle bst files.
Could someone be kind and explain me some workarounds?
thank you in advance.

Correct.

It's relatively simple to define your own bibliography styles in ConTeXt. The following document:

produces a bibliography that's almost the same as the BibLaTeX chem-acs style (which I used as a reference):
