Short title and crossref in incollection

Question

I fail to get the short title of a collection (I need it after the first citation) when using crossref.

The example is not exactly minimal (at least for the bibliography) because I didn't want to clear off custom setting that might affect the issue

  % !BIB TS-program = biber
% !BIB program = biber
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8 Unicode
% !TeX TS-program = xelatexmk

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{pippo.bib}

@collection{Gag:Fil,
    Address = {Città del Vaticano},
    Date-Modified = {2018-06-08 17:40:35 +0000},
    Editor = {Mauro Gagliardi},
    Publisher = {Libreria Editrice Vaticana},
    Shorttitle = {Il Filioque},
    Title = {Il Filioque. A mille anni dal suo inserimento nel credo a Roma (1014-2014)},
    Year = {2015}}

@incollection{Oss:Mas,
    Author = {Carlo dell'Osso},
    Pages = {147-64},
    Crossref = {Gag:Fil},
    Title = {Il \textit{Filioque} in Massimo il Confessore}}


@incollection{Cip:Pro,
    Author = {Nello Cipriani},
    Pages = {99-116},
    Title = {La processione dello Spirito Santo in sant'Agostino},
    Crossref = {Gag:Fil}}

\end{filecontents}

I might be a bit thick tonight, but none of the example entries have any crossref or xref fields and none spot a shorttitle or comparable field. Are you missing a few example entries? Can you explain exactly what output you get and what you would like to see instead, please? — moewe, Dec 04 '19 at 21:18
I am terribly sorry, I don't know what happened to my MWE. It had nothing to do with the question. Could you please take a look now? — Teodoro, Dec 06 '19 at 08:10

There was a similar question a while ago with biblatex : avoid redundant information a brilliant answer by Paul Stanley that was turned into a package by Maïeul (biblatex-opcit-booktitle).

With that package loaded your MWE becomes
