If type does not subclass from Component or GameObject (eg. Mesh or ScriptableObject) only SelectionMode.ExcludePrefab and SelectionMode.Editable are supported.

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;

class ToggleActive : ScriptableObject { [MenuItem("Example/Toggle Active of Selected %i")] static void DoToggle() { Object[] activeGOs = Selection.GetFiltered( typeof(GameObject), SelectionMode.Editable | SelectionMode.TopLevel);

foreach (GameObject obj in activeGOs) { obj.SetActive(!obj.activeSelf); } } }
