Lists of salt solubilities in non aqueous solvents?


Just a question if there is any centralized list of salt solubilities in solvents that aren't water (be it ethanol, chloroform, polar/non-polar/etc)

Getting a little bit tedious having to look up each thing individually, and usually having to dig through the sources of other papers to even find it. (And if I find multiple sources they almost never line up)

Are there any centralized lists that exist like there does for solubilities in water?

Ive been searching, no luck. Each functional group and even its position on the carbon chain seams to create different electronegativity and stearic effects that change solubility.
I did find a piece explaning how how extream pressure will cause non polar and polar solvents to mix, but nothing like the tables available for aquaus solution

There are "solubility data series" publications, it is possible to download them as pdf documents from Internet.
Generally, you can make virtually any salt soluble in organic solvent if you find a proper complexing/chelating/boding agent. So, instead of measuring its solubility as ionic compound in practice is more easily to add some 3rd component to make it soluble, at least as cation.
Saturating organic solvents with polar compounds like HCl also changes the properties of the solvent and make it capable of dissolving ionic compounds (also by complexing).
Another story is inorganic solvents like H2SO4, HF, SO2, NH3. There is information accumulated which is related to every such solvent or solvent family.
