The special issue, the first link under further reading, is a dead link.

The broken link has been fixed. The university's address had changed from web.umr.edu to web.mst.edu

I have added Hilger's PhD thesis as a reference, but I was unable to locate an electronic copy of it to link. If anyone can provide a link to a copy of it (or even just a doi number), it would be much appreciated.

I am not an expert on this, but take for example
Sturm-Liouville problems. People have considered coefficients which are measures. That is, you look at the ode in a weak sense after performing the Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral on both sides and, voila, you can treat differential and difference equations at the same time if you take either a purely absolutely continuous or a pure point measure for the weight, respectively. See for example the books by Atkinson from 1964 or by Mingarelli on Volterra-Stieltjes Integral Equations and Generalized Ordinary Differential Expressions (Springer LNM 989) from 1983. Moreover, consider the measure which is
Lebesgue measure restricted to the dense points plus a sum of
Dirac measures at all isolated points with weight given by the graininess. Then it seems to me that the Hilger derivative is just the
Radon-Nikodym derivative with respect to this measure (i.e. the inverse operation to the corresponding Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral)? --
