    Why in the world would you do this using mysql? Do it using PHP. Simply check for post-category, and if the posts match the criteria, insert a link before the post (or after, or in, or or or)

    Uhm. This is not mysql's job. What you'd have to do is something like this:
    
    if (in_category($category_name, $post_name)) {
    //insert the link here
    }
    
    Code (markup):
