I received an email with a G#7 fingering for inclusion in the Woodwind Fingering Guide. I don't play reliably above C7, so I can't tell if this fingering works. The idea is to take G7:
RT oxo E|oxo G#
using the left pinky key used to play low E and the right pinky key used to play low G#.
Then add the top G# key to get G#7:
RT G# oxo E|oxo G#
It looks like it could work. Does it play G#7?

Doesn't work for me. I had never been able to play higher than F#7 before. With the gut-busting and biting effort I put into this fingering I got an extremely frail, squeeky A7! I am using Gonzalez FOF 3 3/4, maybe I should dig out some of my 20+ year old Vanny 5's.

It worked for me, but without using the E key (left pinky key).
My setup is
Buffet BC 20
Vandoren B45
Glotin 3
BG standard ligature.

Since the G#7 fingering is successful, I've added it to
http://www.wfg.woodwind.org/clarinet/cl_alt_4.html
for future reference. Thank you to everyone who gave it a try.
For those of you who got this fingering to work:
Once you've invested the effort to get the G#7 to sound, does the G7-Ab7 trill respond very well (trilling the top G# key, and if necessary, the pinky E key)?
Are there any variations on this fingering that might produce a sustainable A7 or A#7?
