Is it possible for MVVM light ViewModelLocator generate the viewmodel dynamically based on view

Question

Is it possible for MVVM light ViewModelLocator identify which view is loading and then generate the viewmodel dynamically?

public ViewModelLocator()
{
    ServiceLocator.SetLocatorProvider(() => SimpleIoc.Default);

    //Find the current window/ user control loading
    ContentControl control = 

    //Generate the View model dynamically

    //Register to dynamically created view model
    SimpleIoc.Default.Register<SelectedViewModel>();

}

If you want to avoid ViewModelLocator coding switch to a naming convention based framework like MVVMCross. In MVVMCross you don't have a locator at all, simply create a MyViewModel object and a MyView view: the framework matches them based on name convention.
