Can we measure speed of light in a nontransparentnon-transparent material

As I think even photons are absorbed by a nontransparentnon-transparent material, they aren't absorbed exactly at the same time. Light does propagate though a (sufficiently thin) opaque material. So can we measure the speed of light in such a material?
