I think registering a class handler should do the trick. Just register a routed event handler on the TreeViewItem's PreviewMouseRightButtonDownEvent in your app.xaml.cs code file like this:

/// 

/// Interaction logic for App.xaml
/// 
public partial class App : Application
{
    protected override void OnStartup(StartupEventArgs e)
    {
        EventManager.RegisterClassHandler(typeof(TreeViewItem), TreeViewItem.PreviewMouseRightButtonDownEvent, new RoutedEventHandler(TreeViewItem_PreviewMouseRightButtonDownEvent));

        base.OnStartup(e);
    }

    private void TreeViewItem_PreviewMouseRightButtonDownEvent(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        (sender as TreeViewItem).IsSelected = true;
    }
}
