We examine the couplings of quarkonium hybrids to heavy-light meson pairs in the Born-Oppenheimer approximation for QCD. The lowest hybrid multiplets consist of bound states of the $Π_{u}$ and $Σ_{u}^{-}$ potentials. We find that the $Σ_{u}^{-}$ potential can couple to pairs of $S$ -wave mesons through string breaking, while the $Π_{u}$ potential cannot. From this observation, we derive model-independent selection rules that contradict previous expectations that quarkonium hybrids are forbidden to decay into pairs of $S$ -wave mesons. These Born-Oppenheimer selection rules are consistent with the partial decay widths of the lowest charmonium hybrid with exotic quantum numbers $J^{P C} = 1^{- +}$ recently calculated using lattice QCD.
