I would bid a voidshowing 5♦, but the hand is close to 5NT

I would bid 5S to ask about trump quality (in context).

Well, I'll just bid 6 now. Or perhaps 6♣ if I'm 100% sure pard is 100% convinced the fit is spades and this is a grand slam try

I'm afraid 5S would ask about a ♥ control -- the unbid suit.

If we were worried about heart control we'd bid 5♣.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

I would also have bid 5D the previous round. That lets us play at the 5-level opposite 0, which doesn't hurt.

The real problem with 4♦ is that you can't find out any additional relevant information because you have any card partner could Qbid. 5♦ is okay but will it tell partner the Q♥ is gold? And will you be able to find out about the trump Q? Instead of 4♦ maybe a 2♥ call will allow for a more informative auction. If opps go crazy your next call will have to be x#♠ but this will surely be equivalently informative as a 4♦ call at this stage.
