Is there a comprehensive explanation of which prepositions I should use with directed, and why?

I have found two possible answers, but they look just “partial” in my case:

There's a question on “toward” vs. “towards”, too. Two, actually. – RegDwigнt Sep 26 '12 at 20:30
Directed around. Directed under. Directed over. Directed through. – GEdgar Sep 26 '12 at 21:23

You need to be a lot more specific about the context in which you want to use "directed" - every one of your prepositions occurs in at last some constructions that many native speakers would consider unremarkable. – FumbleFingers Sep 26 '12 at 22:55
@GEdgar: don't forget "directed by". Or, as Robusto put it in chat, it's hard to think of a preposition that can't be used after "directed". We really need context, moudrick. – RegDwigнt Sep 27 '12 at 09:55

I don't think think I've heard of "directed on." – Teacher KSHuang Jan 18 '17 at 08:54
