var btnElm = document.querySelector('button');

btnElm.addEventListener('mouseup', function(e){
    console.log('mouseup');
    
    window.addEventListener(
        'click',
        captureClick,
        true // <-- This registeres this listener for the capture
             //     phase instead of the bubbling phase!
    ); 
});

btnElm.addEventListener('click', function(e){
    console.log('click');
});

function captureClick(e) {
    e.stopPropagation(); // Stop the click from being propagated.
    console.log('click captured');
    window.removeEventListener('click', captureClick, true); // cleanup
}
