I don't know about the shock upper, but the shock lower mount on the linkage is a needle bearing and bushing. If the upper mount is the same, it'll need to be disassembled and lubed.
However, the shock top eye is more likely a rubber bushing and possibly a metal bushing inside the rubber bushing. In either case spraying or oiling the rubber bushing will likely allow lube to seep under and inside it to some degree. Removing the bolt and the bushing and lubing the bushing (or bolt) is the better way to go, as that way you've got actual moly grease in there. But the amount of movement from the top of the shock is minimal compared to the bottom, and a spray job will likely be fine for a time.
For the lower linkage and swingarm, no amount of external lubrication will help. Nor will lubricating the bolts. The bearings have to be lubed.
