Not sure I understand exactly what you're looking for, but for more advanced materials, I suggest that you use the Material Editor in Kerkythea...

Perhaps you can use one of the materials from the Dark mirror glass material library...

I just made a quick test, where I used the Dark mirrir glass #15, I assume that this is similar to what you're looking for - or...?

Using the Mirror Template in Twilight this must be possible.
If you read this thread about how to use the Water Template and apply what you learn to the Mirror Template, I'm sure you will find the answer.

You might try Applying the "Realistic Glass" template, set Opacity to 100 (opaque) and change the color of the glass to something a little darker.
Increasing Shininess and IOR will change the reflective property of the glass and give it a mirror-like appearance.

try the Architectural Glass>Mirror Glass material template:
