Question

Usando biblatex-chicago, eu gostaria @bookinbookde me comportar de forma análoga ao @incollectionusar o shorttitlee apenas o sobrenome do editor para o @bookin crossrefquando houver várias entradas apontando para o mesmo livro.

MWE:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[notes]{biblatex-chicago}

\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@book{kotter:schriften.jdam,
    Address = {Berlin},
    Author = {{John of Damascus}},
    Date = {1969/2013},
    Editor = {Kotter, Bonifaz},
    Publisher = {de Gruyter},
    Shorttitle = {Schriften},
    Title = {Die Schriften des Johannes von Damaskos},
    Volumes = {7}}

@bookinbook{jdam:expositio.fidei:kotter1973,
    Crossref = {kotter:schriften.jdam},
    Entrysubtype = {primary},
    Title = {Expositio fidei},
    Volume = {2},
    Year = {1973}}

@bookinbook{jdam:instit.element:dialectica:kotter1969,

Answer 1

biblatex-chicagotem uma opção chamada booklongxrefque pode ajudá-lo a reduzir as entradas bibliográficas aqui.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[notes,booklongxref=false]{biblatex-chicago}

\usepackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents*}{\jobname.bib}
@book{kotter:schriften.jdam,
    Address = {Berlin},
    Author = {{John of Damascus}},
    Date = {1969/2013},
    Editor = {Kotter, Bonifaz},
    Publisher = {de Gruyter},
    Shorttitle = {Schriften},
    Title = {Die Schriften des Johannes von Damaskos},
    Volumes = {7}}

@bookinbook{jdam:expositio.fidei:kotter1973,
    Crossref = {kotter:schriften.jdam},
    Entrysubtype = {primary},
    Title = {Expositio fidei},
    Volume = {2},
    Year = {1973}}

@bookinbook{jdam:instit.element:dialectica:kotter1969,
    Crossref = {kotter:schriften.jdam},
    Entrysubtype = {primary},
    Title = {Institutio elementaris. Capita philosophica (Dialectica)},
    Volume = {1},
    Year = {1969}}

O resultado não é exatamente o que você tinha em mente, mas espero que esteja próximo o suficiente.

Parece-me particularmente desafiador fazer com que as referências curtas nas @bookinbookentradas se refiram ao conteúdo editorda @bookobra, quando o @bookestá principalmente associado ao seu author.

As outras coisas podem ser contornadas salvando e restaurando os valores dos campos. Internamente o curta crossrefé produzido por um comando de citação. Informações adicionais podem ser passadas para esse comando de citação salvando campos em macros e restaurando as macros posteriormente.
