You're welcome, I already had done much of the work for myself, so I am happy if
it could be useful for others as well.

I had'nt anticipatĕd that you would also use \autocite in the body. I restricted
the scope of the filter to the footnotes, so you should not have errors anymore
provided that all your use cases are documented in the text file. I supposed that
you don't want the output of \autocite to be changed. Please try the file
attached.
