Based on the lists of inputs for bl_space_type and bl_region_types I'm assuming there is a set of special strings that you can input for bl_context correct? When I look at the doc I see

TODO: explain the possible combinations bl_context/bl_region_type/bl_space_type)

EDIT: The Todo has since been removed and the options are documented.

After spending a bit trying to find an updated list I had to peek into the source code to find an answer.

This link should show the currently updated list: https://github.com/blender/blender/search?q=data_mode_strings

As of 2022 the list is:

[   "mesh_edit",           "curve_edit",          "surface_edit",        "text_edit",
    "armature_edit",       "mball_edit",          "lattice_edit",        "posemode",
    "sculpt_mode",         "weightpaint",         "vertexpaint",         "imagepaint",
    "particlemode",        "objectmode",          "greasepencil_paint",  "greasepencil_edit",
    "greasepencil_sculpt", "greasepencil_weight", "greasepencil_vertex"]
