One the SO answer to Achive this by decouples the ViewModel's knowledge about View is by using the Action delegates answered by Mert here

Pasted his code here, if the link breaks by any chance.

class MyCodeBehind
{
   public MyCodeBehind()
   {
      Action action = new Action(()=> this.SomeMethodIWantToCall());
      var myVM = new MyVM(action); // This is your ViewModel
      this.DataContext = myVM;
   }

   private void SomeMethodIWantToCall(){...}
}

class MyVM
{
    private Action action;

    public MyVM(Action someAction)
    {
       this.action = someAction;
    }

    private void SomeMethodInVM()
    {
        this.action(); // Calls the method SomeMethodIWantToCall() in your code behind
    }
}
