The name for these are "collocations".

Collocation dictionaries are lists of collocations. The reason they're absent from single word dictionaries is because there's about 25x more collocations than single words.

And fittingly enough, "collocation dictionary" is not in "the" dictionary. At least not the OED.

Presumably if the word thesaurus was actually "synonym dictionary" it would likewise be absent.
