There is no 'release' or 'renew' action for the server to perform. Those must be done by the client.
Displaying the start/end for statics may be OK.
As other ARP, ping is not likely to be generally useful here. The client might block it, and if it's online, you already know it's active. If it shows offline, all a ping might do is trip it into 'online' status since it would kick it back into the ARP table if it's still on the network.
If someone wants to work up a PR to add links to ping, we can look it over, but can't guarantee it would be accepted.
