I want to be able to cite a specific page from a reference using biblatex.
I have noticed that from textcite[109]{Klein:400738} would print the author's name with the brackets containing the page number and reference's label as so: "from Klein [1, p.109]". Though, I would prefer the title to be printed instead of the author's name: "from « Basic concept I » [1, p.109]".
I kinda made a "homemade" fix to it by simply calling both citetitle{Klein:400738}cite[109]{Klein:400738} but I was wondering if there was not any default or cleaner way of doing so.

MWE if needed.

documentclass[french, 11pt, a4paper, titlepage]{report}

usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage{filecontents}

usepackage{hyperref}

usepackage[

    hyperref=true,

    backend=biber,

    style=numeric,

    sorting=ynt

]{biblatex}



begin{filecontents}{jobname.bib}

@article{Klein:400738,

    author  = {Klein, H.},

    title   = {Basic concepts I},

    journal = {{CAS - CERN Accelerator School: RF Engineering for Particle Accelerators}},

    month = {apr},

    year    = {1991},

    doi = {10.5170/CERN-1992-003.97},

    pages = {97-124}

}

end{filecontents}



addbibresource{jobname.bib}





begin{document}

Default citation with page number: cite[109]{Klein:400738}\

Textcite printing the author: textcite[109]{Klein:400738}\

My solution: citetitle{Klein:400738}~cite[109]{Klein:400738}\

Improved one: ?

printbibliography[title={Bibliographie}]

end{document}

Thank you so much.

If you want to use this construction more often, it is a very good idea to define a dedicated citation command with titletextcite.

We can steal some of the code for textcite and simplify it a bit to end up with

documentclass[french, 11pt, a4paper, titlepage]{report}
