[CMake] find_package() for static only / shared only

Another possibility is to customize the variable CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES.
For example, on linux:
* shared only: set (CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES ".so")
* static only: set (CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES ".a")
On Windows, it is more problematic because static and "import" shared libraries have same extension: ".lib".
But, if, by chance, you have different prefixes to distinguish them, you can rely on variable CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_PREFIXES to manage that.

I've googled this issue for a while now but found only few
references (1,2) and no solution. I'd like to enforce that
find_package() will only accept static or shared libraries.
I would then set this option based on BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=(ON|OFF).
I.e. I'd love to have something like:
if(BUILD_SHARED_LIBS)
BUILD_TYPE="SHARED"
else()
BUILD_TYPE="STATIC"
endif()
find_package(XXX ${BUILD_TYPE})
find_package(YYY ${BUILD_TYPE})
find_package(ZZZ ${BUILD_TYPE})
...
It seems that this does not exist? I could also not find a
good workaround. The best I can find is to use 'NAMES' and
add the static or shared library names manually.
This is not very suitable, because I have a project with more
than 30 dependencies. The project should either build (fully)
static or (fully) shared. I can not easily maintain lists of
30 static and shared library names on several platforms.
Is there a solution or good workaround?
All the best,
