I think it can be made using a variation of Morton's Fork.... losing only 1♠ and the ♥ K and Q .

yes, this can be made DD - finesse the diamond, play the J of hearts from dummy. If two spades are played, forcing dummy, then take two diamonds pitching a club and run clubs through RHO, pitching a spade if he ruffs high, and overruffing, trump to the ace, and another club if he ruffs low. If he plays anything else, you can play a round of spades & set up the same ending.

Exactly.
Mr order of playing the cards was slightly different, but the outcome the same.
The key points are the ♦ finesse and pitching a ♣.
