In WW2, yes, but more by luck than intention considering (1) the size of a funnel’s hole in relation to the ship’s total deck surface area and (2) the lack of sophisticated guidance systems. Also, because of the angle, shells fired by another ship would more likely just blow the funnel off than actually go down it.
