I tried this on the image from the link you gave, wich looked at a black case on wheels, and the color to alpha filter did as you said. The image turned semi-transparent too. You could add an alpha channel to the jpeg image then add a layer mask to the image. Select the white background with the select by color tool. Select the layer mask in the layer dialog by clicking on the layer mask and fill the selection with black. You'll need to do this several times by adjusting the threshold of the select by color tool until you get want you want.
