This is one of those pain-in-the-%¤# answers where I don't actually answer your question, but instead lecture you about what you should be doing differently. So, sorry about that. Here goes:
If you find yourself in a position where you need to get at the sender object in your viewmodel, then you should probably do something different. By referencing, say, a Button or a ListBox in your viewmodel you have made that viewmodel aware of UI concepts that it should not know anything about. My suggestion is to instead hook up to the event in the code-behind page, find out what you need to know about the sender or what-not, and then execute the viewmodel command programmatically. That is also breaking the MVVM "rules", but IMHO it is a much slighter hack than referencing the sender in your viewmodel.
