Nope it's not a trigger. Check what Unity has named your mouse button by going in Edit->Project Settings-> Input. Then simply create a new Javascript and write these down under function Update.

if(Input.GetButtonDown("MouseButtonName")) {

animation.CrossFade("name of the animation");

}

This should be simple enough. Make sure you've assigned the animation to the object and assign this code to your sword. It should work.

You should make sure that in the Inspector Window your Sword object should have the name of the animation that you're going to use under the "animation" box. Click on your Sword object, in the Inspector Window there should be a part called "Animation". There's usually a standard one that comes with the model. Add your animation there. Hope this helps.
