Topological analysis of chaotic attractor by the mean of template is rather well established for simple attractors like those solution to the Rössler system. Lorenz-like attractors are already slightly more complicated because they are bounded by a genus-3 bounding torus, implying the necessity to use a two-component Poincaré section. In this paper, we enriched the concept of linking matrix to correctly describe algebraically template for attractor with (g-1) components Poincaré section and whose bounding torus has g interior holes aligned. An example with g=5 - a multispiral attractor - is explicitly treated.
