You can use Input.parse_input_event() for this.
For the left mouse button it would look like this:

func release_left_mouse_button():
    var a = InputEventMouseButton.new()
    a.set_button_index(1)
    a.set_pressed(false)
    Input.parse_input_event(a)

Just run the swipe logic after the given time and ignore user input. It's almost like asking to un-press a keyboard press. Unless your mouse has the ability to shock the user to releasing it. That'll teach em.
