I'm trying to draw a series of arrows on 3D view and let the user click and drag to change some properties on screen.

I want to draw objects to the 3D View using bgl, but how would I go into handling the mouse input on the 3D View?

$\begingroup$ Depending on what you are going for it's either really hard or probably impossible to achieve with the current version. I suggest have a look into retopoflow addon to get some inspiration. However, Blender 2.8 introduces custom manipulators, although also pretty low level at its current state. Nice bgl answers at BSE: blender.stackexchange.com/a/92956/31447 blender.stackexchange.com/a/913/31447, blender.stackexchange.com/a/57714/31447 $\endgroup$
