Shorttitle in collections in biblatex

Question

I'm using the style verbose-trad2 in biblatex. I have some bibliographical incollection items which refer to a collection item via the field crossref. The collection item has a shorttitle item which unfortunately is not being used, as you can see in this MWE:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[style=verbose-trad2]{biblatex}
\addbibresource{stack2.bib}
\begin{document}
  The first one\footcite{vasquez1998bajo}. \par

  And then\footcite{negredodelcerro1998}.
\end{document}

And the items:

@collection{MartinezRuiz1998,
 editor =       {Martínez Ruiz, Enrique},
 title =        {España y Suecia en la época del Barroco (1600-1660)},
 shorttitle =   {España y Suecia},
 year =         1998,
 location =     {Madrid},
 }

@InCollection{negredodelcerro1998,
 author =       {{Negredo del Cerro}, Fernando},
 title =        {Contradicciones en la Monarquía Católica},
 pages =        {667-685},
 crossref =     {MartinezRuiz1998}
 }

@InCollection{vasquez1998bajo,
 author =       {Vasquez Lopera, Julián},
 title =        {Bajo el signo de la diplomacia etc.},
 crossref =     {MartinezRuiz1998},
 pages =        {761-791}
 }

Is there a way to force biblatex to check whether a collection item has been already cited through an incollection item?

@Martin: I want to achieve: Fernando Negredo ... In: España y Suecia, op.cit. That is: I want the shorttitle to be used and not a repetition of the whole title of the collection item. — rogorido, Aug 06 '13 at 12:59
Have a look at the philosophy-verbose style. It implements the @inbook/@incollection/@inproceedings by printing only the @in information and then actually citing the crossref'd or xref'd book/collection/proceedings. This will give something very close to your wishes. — moewe, Apr 22 '14 at 08:46
There also is biblatex : avoid redundant information now, which seems quite related. — moewe, Apr 22 '14 at 09:34
