For anyone else wondering how to do it. Assuming you run Docker-OSX from terminal like this

    --device /dev/kvm \
    -p 50922:10022 \
    -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
    -e "DISPLAY=${DISPLAY:-:0.0}" \
    -e SHORTNAME=catalina \
    -e RAM=7 \
    sickcodes/docker-osx:latest

When the QEMU window shows you just press Enter in the terminal and you should be in the QEMU command prompt indicated by

(qemu) and a cursor next to it. Type in
info mice
you will get the available mouse and their ID. mouse_set 4 is a command from QEMU console with parameter 4.
