You might find it helpful to look up "unassuming cue bid" (ucb) for this situation. There are (many) more ideas in Robson-Segal available free online. This is an area where there are plenty of options depending on how many artificial bids you are willing to take into your system. For a good intermediate or higher pick-up partner it is probably ok to assume that they will understand a ucb; the other possibilities you need to have an explicit agreement for unless some kind of expert standard is assumed.
