WPF-MVVM: Display a modal windows from the viewModel

I'm (still) learning MVVM through a small project, and I've one question:

I've a button on my windows, this button start a command on the ViewModel. The viewModel has to use a "OpenFileDialog" to known which file has to be opened. I'm using Unity for the DI.

The problem is that I should give a "Windows" in parameter to ensure that the open file dialog is modal(the user cannot use the interface when the openFile is opened).

But in the viewModel, I don't have access to the "Windows" object, so what is the correct approach?

Thank you!

just pass bool to interface method that indicates if window is modal or not, and open modal or not modal dialog in view side depending to that variable
