is it possible to automate this?

I.e. if I want to show on a category view, all featured images from that category and automate what is shown, i.e. on hovering the post title and i.e. sharing on FB and G+ buttons should appear?

Say I already have a plugin with a short code that would make the sharing buttons appear so I’d like to automate this and not have to do it for each and every picture manually.

I hope this request is understandable otherwise I can try and explain in more detail.
