Generic LOINC code as a temporary placeholder for lab tests yet to be mapped to LOINC

Greetings!

Tapping into the collective intelligence of the greater LOINC committee.

Does anyone know, if there is an existence of a generic LOINC code which can serve as a temporary placeholder/interim solution for lab tests to adopt?

Similar question has been asked before in 2015, link: Generic LOINC code for when no code exists? - laboratory-loinc / other-lab - LOINC Community Forum.

How does your nation/lab resolve LOINC mappability issues for lab test without LOINC?

Thank you!
