How to guess a companion plant?

Hello all,

While more common companion plant pairs are fairly well known (such as basil/tomato), one might want to grow exotic plants alongwith probable companions. For example, I have some potted exotics (they are edibles) and I would like to make use of the giant pot and huge mass of soil for something else as well. Yet, I could not find sufficient info on companions when I searched on the internet.

Therefore, I am now wondering if companions are simply "known" based on empirical data or is there a set of guidelines for what type of plants can co-exist peacefully? In the absence of ready information, I would like to have the guidelines to help myself choose a good companion to my plants.
