There are now dictionaries of verbal constructions. I think there is the Oxford Dictionary of Phrasal Verbs, though I won't swear that is its exact name, and there's a Longman one.
Many recent dictionaries will now be clearer about this information than they used to be, and won't just mark a verb as "transitive" when it requires a specific construction. The Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary is one example that I think will show verbs in this way.
Phrasal verbs are now recognized as perhaps the one biggest part of English grammar. Do a web search on "phrasal verb" and you'll find a lot of hits in various languages.
