How to trigger swipe gestures in UI Tests

I am trying to create a UI Test in my tvOS App that requires a swipe gesture to present an overlay menu.

Even though that gesture can be easily triggered by the users by using Siri Remote, I am not able to replicate that behaviour in my tests making use of XCUIRemote.

XCUIRemote seems to be limited to pressing up, down, left, right, select, menu, play/pause and home.

Is there some alternative approach to trigger swipe gestures for UI Tests?
