Using a pre-defined list inside a pgfplotset style

I would like to place defined markers on certain datapoints in a plot using a predefined list of tuples defdatalist{datapoint/mark}. I found a suitable solution of the same problem with labels which relies upon the nodes near coords. Unfortunately, it works only if the datalist is explicitly contained in the addplot+[nodes near some coords={datapoint/mark}]. The code does not compile if the macro datalist is used directly in addplot+[nodes near some coords=datalist]. I guess a solution is related to Using Macro Defined Lists in TikZ/PGFplots but none of the workarounds worked for me.

A MWE:

documentclass[tikz,border=10pt]{standalone}
usepackage{pgfplots}
usetikzlibrary{shapes}

defdatalist{0/rectangle,
           2/circle,
           4/diamond}

pgfplotsset{
    compat=1.16,
    %%% 
    node near coord/.style args={#1/#2}{% Style for activating the label for a single coordinate
        nodes near coords*={
            ifnumcoordindex=#1 fi
        },
        scatter/@pre marker code/.append code={
            ifnumcoordindex=#1 pgfplotsset{every node near coord/.append style=fill, draw,#2}fi
        }
   },
   nodes near some coords/.style={ % Style for activating the label for a list of coordinates
       scatter/@pre marker code/.code={},% Reset the default scatter style, so we don't get coloured markers
       scatter/@post marker code/.code={},%
       node near coord/.list={#1}% Run "node near coord" once for every element in the list
   }
}
