Biblatex: How to insert the year at the end of an authortitle-ibid footnote

Question

I am trying to set up my citation style with biblatex and biber right now and I've come across the style authortitle-ibid which gives me almost exactly what I need when using footcite.
The only thing that I am missing is that I want the year to show up in my footnotes right after the title and before postnotes. (which are [S. 32-33] in my example case)
If anybody would have an idea how to accomplish that I would be very thankful! Thanks.
documentclass[12pt]{scrbook}
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage{csquotes}
usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
usepackage[style=authortitle-ibid,sorting=none,backend=biber]{biblatex}
begin{filecontents}{jobname.bib}
    @article{einstein,
        author = {Albert Einstein},
        title = {the true about tree},
        journaltitle = {Annalen der Physik},
        year = {1905},
        volume = {322},
        number = {10},
        pages = {891--921}
    }
   @Online {laubpage,
    author = {Laubheimer, Page},
    title = {Virtual Tours: High Interaction Cost, Moderate Usefulness},
    date = {2020-08-30},
    year = {2020},
    file = {:./references/articles-virtual-tours-.html:html},
    url = {https://www.nngroup.com/articles/virtual-tours/},
    urldate = {2021-01-18}
    }
end{filecontents}
addbibresource{jobname.bib}

begin{document}

Cite thisfootcite[Vgl.][S. 32-33]{einstein} and thisfootcite{laubpage} please.

printbibliography
end{document}

What you are building is a hybrid style. First of all we need to create the macro to print the year. This is borrowed from authoryear.bbx.
renewbibmacro*{cite:labeldate+extradate}{%
  iffieldundef{labelyear}
  {}
  {printtext[bibhyperref]{printlabeldateextra}}}

Then we have to insert this macro into the one that prints the title (adding a comma and a space before):
renewbibmacro*{cite:title}{%
  printtext[bibhyperref]{%
    printfield[citetitle]{labeltitle}%
    setunit{addcommaspace}%
    usebibmacro{cite:labeldate+extradate}}}

Or, if you prefer an all-in-one solution:
usepackage{xpatch}
xapptobibmacro{cite:title}{%
  setunit{addcommaspace}%
  iffieldundef{labelyear}{}
  {printtext[bibhyperref]{printlabeldateextra}}}{}{}

Finally, we need the labeldateparts option:
usepackage[<...>,labeldateparts]{biblatex}
