Interaction requests require a little more up-front work, but they are definitely the right way to go from the MVVM purist perspective...

I saw an example of how to do this with Prism in Karl Shifflett's MVVM In The Box training extension.

As I remember, the example was pretty rough around the edges, but it should set you in the right direction.

The problem with this kind of in-view "Dialog" is it doesn't allow the dialog to go outside the bounds of the parent window. On the plus side, you can do a lot of fancy layout and animation stuff.
