biblatex-ext-tabular with authoryear key

Question

I have been asked to produce a tabular bibliography similar to the following example:

This should in theory be possible using biblatex-ext-tabular, so I am trying to adapt the MWE in its documentation to my needs:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[%
bibstyle=authortitle,%
citestyle=authoryear,%
backend=biber%
%backend=biber, style=ext-authoryear
]{biblatex}
\usepackage{biblatex-ext-tabular}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{array}
\newcolumntype{L}[1]{%
>{\raggedright\let\newline\\\arraybackslash\hspace{0pt}}p{#1}}
\defbibtabular{bibtabular}
{\setlength{\LTpre}{0pt}%
\setlength{\LTpost}{0pt}%
\renewcommand*{\arraystretch}{2}%
\begin{longtable}{%
@{}
L{\dimexpr0.3\textwidth-\tabcolsep\relax}
L{\dimexpr0.7\textwidth-\tabcolsep\relax}
@{}}}
{\end{longtable}}
{\anchorlang{\usebibmacro{tabular:sortname}} &
\driver{\usebibmacro{tabular:omitsortname}} \\}
\begin{filecontents}[force]{\jobname.bib}
@book{Aufrecht1859,
title = {Ujjvaladatta's Commentary on the Uṇādisūtras},
titleaddon = {Edited from a Manuscript in the Library of the East India House},
editor = {Theodor Aufrecht},
location = {Bonn},
year = {1859},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
\cite{Aufrecht1859}---%
\fullcite{Aufrecht1859}
\printbibtabular
\end{document}

I guess I would need to know the names of the proper bibmacros in the last two lines of the definition of the bibtabular definition, with perhaps some more adjustments. I would appreciate some pointers as to what they would be. Actually, the commands \cite for the left side and \fullcite for the right side of the table would be producing basically what is needed, if I load biblatex with bibstyle=authortitle and citestyle=authoryear, so which bibmacros would correspond to them?

If you use the biblatex-ext versions of authoryear and authortitle, you can use the bibmacro introcite:typeset to typeset the citation on the left in the table and \driver{} to typeset the full bib entry on the right. See also the example in Special format for cite.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[%
  backend=biber,
  bibstyle=ext-authortitle,
  citestyle=ext-authoryear,
]{biblatex}
\usepackage{biblatex-ext-tabular}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{array}
\newcolumntype{L}[1]{%
  >{\raggedright\let\newline\\\arraybackslash\hspace{0pt}}p{#1}}
\defbibtabular{bibtabular}
  {\setlength{\LTpre}{0pt}%
   \setlength{\LTpost}{0pt}%
   \renewcommand*{\arraystretch}{2}%
   \begin{longtable}{%
     @{}
     L{\dimexpr0.3\textwidth-\tabcolsep\relax}
     L{\dimexpr0.7\textwidth-\tabcolsep\relax}
     @{}}}
  {\end{longtable}}
  {\anchorlang{\usebibmacro{introcite:typeset}} &
   \driver{} \}
\DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{default}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@book{Aufrecht1859,
  title      = {Ujjvaladatta's Commentary on the Uṇādisūtras},
  titleaddon = {Edited from a Manuscript in the Library of the East India House},
  editor     = {Theodor Aufrecht},
  location   = {Bonn},
  year       = {1859},
}
\end{filecontents}
\addbibresource{\jobname.bib}
\begin{document}
Lorem \autocite{Aufrecht1859}
\printbibtabular
\end{document}
