Are there generalizations of the shift theorem to wider classes of input transformations than circular shifts and DFT?

The DFT shift theorem implies that any circular shift in the input space is equivalent to a phase change in the frequency domain, while the absolute values are preserved.

$$ \mathcal{F}(\{x_{n-m}\})_k=\mathcal{F}(\{x_n\})_k\cdot e^{-\frac{2\pi i}{N}k m} $$

A circular shift can be represented as a multiplication by a particular orthogonal matrix, and DFT is a special kind of unitary transformation.

I wonder if there are generalizations of the shift theorem to wider classes of input transformations than circular shifts and DFT, such that the original transformation always looks like a phase change in the new representation?
