Make an opaque, white rectangle of the page size, and put it down as the lowest layer.

Suppose you like the light blue on the transparent star, but not its transparency. You can use the Color Pick tool (F7) to transfer just that light blue color (excluding the transparency) to a duplicate object. First select your duplicate object then click on Color Pick tool and, before clicking on the light blue color to pick it, first unselect "Pick" in the opacity option of the tool:


Then you can now click on the light blue. Only that light blue, not its transparency, will be transferred to your duplicate. This works even if your duplicate is also transparent – you'll end up with an opaque object. This also works even if you don't have a duplicate: just select your transparent object, click with the Color Pick tool ("Pick" option unselected) on your desired color area, and your previously transparent star will become opaque.


To keep the transparency around your object when exporting, make sure there is no background nor other objects inside its bounding box before doing the export to PNG.
