Get ClickedItem from a ListView (using MVVM)

I have a ListView in a Windows Universal Application, described as follows:

ListView ItemsSource="{Binding RecentlyAddedTvSeriesEpisodes}"
         IsItemClickEnabled="True" SelectionMode="Single"
         x:Name="listOfThings">

         <!--Behaviour for item click-->
         <i:Interaction.Behaviors>
             <core:EventTriggerBehavior EventName="ItemClick">
                 <core:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding VideoItemClickCommand}" 
             CommandParameter="{Binding ElementName=listOfThings, Path=SelectedItem}"/>
             </core:EventTriggerBehavior>
         </i:Interaction.Behaviors>                   

         <!--ListView template for all items-->
         <ListView.ItemTemplate>
             <DataTemplate>
             ...
             </DataTemplate>
         </ListView.ItemTemplate>
</ListView>

If I click on an item, the behaviour is to invoke a relay command and pass as a CommandParameter the SelectedItem property of the ListView.

If no item is selected in the ListView, it passes the ItemClickEventArgs object. From this, I can easily get the clicked item:

private async void ExecuteItemClickCommand(ItemClickEventArgs parameter)
{
    //Get the clicked item
    Model.VideoModel selectedVideo = parameter.ClickedItem as VideoModel;
}

If an item is selected in the ListView, it passes to the RelayCommand the SelectedItem property (directly the model) even if I click on other item rather than the selected one.

I would like to find out how to get the ClikedItem of a ListView, regardless the selected items in the ListView

I'm not sure how to get it through the behavior, but how about simply handling the event in code behind and invoking the command from there? You'll probably save 3 lines of code and a a few kBs of binary size...
