is there a possibility to monitor and to display link-events such as
link-up and link-down?

Wireshark currently does not support that (and neither does libpcap, so it'd either require libpcap changes or platform-dependent code in Wireshark; it'd also require a way to store those in a capture file, hence use of pcap-NG or something such as that).
