biblatexcitingnesting
I'd like to type a citation within the text and another citation inside the parenthesis for the year, something like this:
The work of Author 1 (year; cited by Author 2, year)
For this, I've tried different options of the \textcite command but without results. Also I saw the solution posted here, which works for multiple citations within parenthesis but not for in-text citations.
Any suggestion?
For request no. 1, add the option ibidpage=true. Quoting p. 2 of 75-style-verbose-trad2.pdf:
The
ibidpageoptionThe scholarly abbreviation ibidem is sometimes taken to mean both ‘same author + same title’ and ‘same author + same title + same page’ in traditional citation schemes. By default, this is not the case with this style because it may lead to ambiguous citations. If you you prefer the wider interpretation of ibidem, set the package option
ibidpage=trueor simplyibidpagein the preamble. The default setting isibidpage=false.
For request no. 2, an \iffirstonpage test has to be added to the cite bibmacro; if the test yields true, the bibmacros cite:name and cite:title have to be used.

Using a modified tufte-common.def file you can create tufte-latex documents with biblatex. A limitation is that tufte-latex modifies footnotes. So biblatex features such as \smartcite inside footnotes and footnote detection with \iffootnote may not work as intended. Most of this has already been covered in another post.
As for the citation style, you can get most of the way there with some edits to the textcite bibliography macro and \smartcite. Both of these are defined in numeric.cbx.

\usepackage{hyphenat}
\usepackage[american]{babel}
\usepackage{csquotes}
\usepackage[style=numeric,citetracker=true,autocite=footnote]{biblatex}

% If not seen, avoid compact lists and print full citation

One of the most prominent and distinctive features of this style is the
extensive use of sidenotes \autocites(See)()[10--15]{knuth:ct:a}[10]{companion}.
There is a wide margin to provide ample room for sidenotes and small figures
\autocite{knuth:ct:a,knuth:ct:b}. Any footnotes will automatically be converted to
sidenotes.\footnote{Results from \textcite{knuth:ct:a,knuth:ct:b,companion} showed
that...}
\printbibliography
\end{document}
Some notes:
autocite=footnote option setting makes \autocite use \smartcite as its backend citation command.\ifciteseen test needs citation tracking enabled. In the example global tracking is enabled via citetracker=true. Alternative settings are possible. Refer to the manual for details.\usedriver. The first argument to this command allows you to hook code in before printing. This is a good place to suppress fields with \clearfield and friends. In the example, I suppress the pages and pagetotal fields to avoid confusion with page references in postnotes.numeric, \textcite generates compact citation lists. This complicates printing full citations. The edits to textcite take an easy way out by simply replacing the labelname or labeltitle with the full citation.numeric style isn't particularly suited to this customization. Refer to the verbose style or any of its variants for some better alternatives.

Nested citation commands are not allowed, but one can simulate them (using the appropriate punctuation commands to ensure consistency with other citations):
