    I'm thinking you might be able to achieve this using multiple layers of type.

    1st layer would be your text + the underline at the opacity you want.
    2nd layer could be the text + box at full opacity.

    Obviously you would need P styles for each layer, one for the type+underline and one for the type+box.

    Since it's white type/knockout-to-page there shouldn't be any opacity issues there. However you will probably need to monkey with the opacity of the underline on top of the semi-transparent box.

    And do you mean centered vertically within the box? You will probably need to baseline shift until it appears optically correct.

    Anyway, I haven't tested this so it might be a shit solution.
