Move Context Origin

When creating a part in context, the I am prompted to set an origin for the part studio to be created. How can I change this origin location once the context is already created?

    You can’t, that’s why it asks you to define it in the assembly first. The origin is really only a reference location - you could create a point or a mate connector to become your new origin.

    I did this - created a mate connector on the reference part, created the in-context part, but later I modified the original context and updated it, but the origin didn't move to match the new position of the mate connector so the whole model is broken - what did I miss?
