Does the word '攬' in Mandarin carry the meaning of "to loop ~ around"?
Explanation from zdic:


  　1. 把持：～持。独～大权。
  　2. 拉到自己这方面或自己身上来：包～。招～。承～。～客。～活儿。
  　3. 搂，捆：把孩子～在怀里。
  　4. 取：～秀。～胜。摘星～月。


From this and some other dictionaries (which may not be online) and my personal experience, I think 揽 in Mandarin does not have the usage you asked in Cantonese.
