There isn't currently any way to do this with Teleport - you will need to reauthenticate completely once your session has expired. You can always run tsh login again at any point to get a new certificate with an updated TTL, which basically accomplishes the same goal.

The reason is that Teleport needs to open a web browser to handle reauthentication with an SSO provider (in case your user there has been deactivated etc) and the experience of opening a web browser to extend the token is more or less exactly the same as logging in from scratch again anyway.
