For drinking water a filter should be added to that tap alone if required.

Been doing this many years since 1974, you are IMO miss informed.
A water softener will add about 35 milligrams of sodium to each 8 oz. glass of water you drink.
there is no way to filter out that salt it passes thru any filter.
We only install water softeners with a inline WHF whole house water filter
after a softener, that is the correct way to do it.
I see many softeners installed without filters after the unit, in the backwash or re-gen process bits of the resin bed will enter your water pipes you don't want to ingest these.
in first pic with a black colored softener (ours )you can see a proper install.
the second pic with a white colored softener shows a retrofit with another brand softener.
I tiny filter at the sink really is not going to do much.
