You can already do 'ntpq -c cv [associd]' with...ntpq.  Why do you consider
it's desirable to duplicate that function in ntpmon?

I think you're in too much of a rush to load features on a new toy and are
failing to think about separation of function as you should.  Well, "should"
in an ideal world, anyway.  In the real world, you have some excuse because
defending the cleanliness of the architecture against featuritis is my job.

The design intention of ntpmon is to provide a fast, near-real-time view 
that warns you when some condition might be deviating from the expected.
If you want to drill down, that's what ntpq is for.

Instead of trying to make ntpmon do things ntpq does well already,
you should be asking yourself what a TUI program like ntpmon can do
well that a CLI program like ntpq cannot.
