Well, hal supports querying what is in the tray (actually I implemented it 
there). And we already report that AFAIK. I'm not sure it can report if it's 
open/closed, no idea if it's even doable.

Well, never cared to add it, and you're the first to ask for the feature. :-)
I tend to keep the library use-case based, so to extend the current set of 
features proposed I generally wait for someone having an use for it.

Regards.
